Joe Tsai 019d8a07e1 archive/tar: forbid NUL character in string fields
USTAR and GNU strings are NUL-terminated. Thus, we should never
allow the NUL terminator, otherwise we will lose data round-trip.

Relevant specification text:
<<<
The fields magic, uname, and gname are character strings each terminated by a NUL character.
>>>

Technically, PAX keys and values should be UTF-8, but the observance
of invalid files in the wild causes us to be more liberal.
<<<
The <length> field, <blank>, <equals-sign>, and <newline> shown shall
be limited to the portable character set, as encoded in UTF-8.
>>>

Thus, we only reject NULs in PAX keys, and NULs for PAX values
representing the USTAR string fields (i.e., path, linkpath, uname, gname).
These are treated more strictly because they represent strings that
are typically represented as C-strings on POSIX systems.
