Joe Tsai a795ca51db archive/tar: support arbitrary PAX records
This CL adds the following new publicly visible API:
	type Header struct { ...; PAXRecords map[string]string }

The new Header.PAXRecords field is a map of all PAX extended header records.

We suggest (but do not enforce) that users use VENDOR-prefixed keys
according to the following in the PAX specification:
<<<
The standard developers have reserved keyword name space for vendor extensions.
It is suggested that the format to be used is:
	VENDOR.keyword
where VENDOR is the name of the vendor or organization in all uppercase letters.
>>>

When reading, the Header.PAXRecords is populated with all PAX records
encountered so far, including basic ones (e.g., "path", "mtime", etc).
When writing, the fields of Header will be merged into PAXRecords,
overwriting any records that may conflict.

Since PAXRecords is a more expressive feature than Xattrs and
is entirely a superset of Xattrs, we mark Xattrs as deprecated,
and steer users towards the new PAXRecords API.

The issue has a discussion about adding a Header.SetPAXRecord method
to help validate records and keep the Header fields in sync.
However, we do not include that in this CL since that helper
method can always be added in the future.

There is no support for global records.

Fixes #14472
