archive/tar: require opt-in to PAX or GNU format for time features
Nearly every Header obtained from FileInfoHeader via the FS has
timestamps with sub-second resolution and the AccessTime
and ChangeTime fields populated. This forces the PAX format
to almost always be used, which has the following problems:
* PAX is still not as widely supported compared to USTAR
* The PAX headers will occupy at minimum 1KiB for every entry
The old behavior of tar Writer had no support for sub-second resolution
nor any support for AccessTime or ChangeTime, so had neither problem.
Instead the Writer would just truncate sub-second information and
ignore the AccessTime and ChangeTime fields.
In this CL, we preserve the behavior such that the *default* behavior
would output a USTAR header for most cases by truncating sub-second
time measurements and ignoring AccessTime and ChangeTime.
To use either of the features, users will need to explicitly specify
that the format is PAX or GNU.
The exact policy chosen is this:
* USTAR and GNU may still be chosen even if sub-second measurements
are present; they simply truncate the timestamp to the nearest second.
As before, PAX uses sub-second resolutions.
* If the Format is unspecified, then WriteHeader ignores AccessTime
and ChangeTime when using the USTAR format.
This ensures that USTAR may still be chosen for a vast majority of
file entries obtained through FileInfoHeader.
