Implement a very common GNU Tar format #14

Open lehins opened 6 years ago

lehins commented 6 years ago

Another common format is GNU Tar format and is currently only partially implemented, namely only long file names support is present, i.e. 'L' header type. Other header types are simply ignored.

This is related to #9 as sparse files (header type 'S') are part of GNU tar format, and are simply discarded for now.
