	Since aa0c4b0df7cdc, erl_tar would write the local time (instead of the POSIX time) into the tar header for the archived files. When extracting the tar file, the extracted file could be set to a future time (depending on the time zone). We could do a minimal fix, but this seems to be a good time to rewrite the time handling to use the new features that allow file info to be read and written in the POSIX time format. First reported here: https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/issues/1554
2017-02-16	Update erl_tar to support PAX format, etc.	Paul Schoenfelder
	This commit introduces the following key changes: - Support for reading tar archives in formats currently in common use, such as v7, STAR, USTAR, PAX, and GNU tar's extensions to the STAR/USTAR format. - Support for writing PAX archives, only when necessary, using USTAR when possible for greater portability. These changes result in lifting of some prior restrictions: - Support for reading archives produced by modern tar implementations when other restrictions described below are present. - Support for filenames which exceed 100 bytes in length, or paths which exceed 255 bytes (see USTAR format specification for more details on this restriction). - Support for filenames of arbitrary length - Support for unicode metadata (the previous behaviour of erl_tar was actually violating the spec, by writing unicode-encoded data to fields which are defined to be 7-bit ASCII, even though this technically worked when using erl_tar at source and destination, it may not have worked with other tar utilities, and this implementation now conforms to the spec). - Support for uid/gid values which cannot be converted to octal integers.
