## Message

```
std.tar: add writer (#19603)

Simplifies code in docs creation where we used `std.tar.output.Header`.
Writer uses that Header internally and provides higher level interface.
Updates checksum on write, handles long file names, allows setting mtime and file permission mode. Provides handy interface for passing `Dir.WalkerEntry`.
```
