Joe Tsai cd0ba4c169 archive/tar: make Reader error handling consistent
The tar.Reader guarantees stickiness of errors. Ensuring this property means
that the methods of Reader need to be consistent about whose responsibility it
is to actually ensure that errors are sticky.

In this CL, we make it only the responsibility of the exported methods
(Next and Read) to store tr.err. All other methods just return the error as is.

As part of this change, we also check the error value of mergePAX (and test
that it properly detects invalid PAX files). Since the value of mergePAX was
never used before, we change it such that it always returns ErrHeader instead
of strconv.SyntaxError. This keeps it consistent with other usages of strconv
in the same tar package.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
