Fix false Dialyzer warnings for erl_tar:table/1
'tar_entry()' values are only returned if we specify the 'verbose' option when calling table/2, which table/1 doesn't do. Now, it appears that Dialyzer as of OTP 20 is clever enough to realize that the return type of table/1 must intersect with the return type of table/2, and so it ignores the fact that table/1 says it returns strings, and therefore its callers are expected to be dealing with 'tar_entry()' tuples, and never with strings. This is obviously a mismatch between what the code does and what the spec says is does, leading to false Dialyzer warnings on code that uses table/1 (and, presumably, also table/2 when called without the 'verbose' option.)
