Skip PAX global headers
Tar archives can contain set two kinds of PAX headers: - local headers that modify the attributes of the next file - global headers that set defaults for all files The later is used "... not widely used", according to tar(5) and has been deliberately not implemented. Some programs (e.g. git-archive) *do* generate them (in the case of git, it stores the commit hash). This commit adds a code path that skips a PAX global header entirely and resumes tar parsing, instead of erroneusly reporting it as an entry.
