	Some experiments seem to indicate that the various GNU extensions are more widely supported than their POSIX equivalents[1]. Possibly because they are easier to implement and possibly because of the wide spread use of GNU tar. This commit replaces the PAX writer in the write_tar_header implementation with a GNU extension based writer. The writer is also cleaned up by removing all global state. The record counter is moved outside into the tar2sqfs program and passed in as function argument.

2019-07-01	cleanup: split tar code up, remove some duplications	David Oberhollenzer
	This commit attempts to split some of the monolitic tar parsing code up into multiple functions in seperate files. Also, some code duplication (like reading a record into memory which was implemented twice) is removed. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
