```
tar: add parsing size in gnu extended format

Reference:
https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Extensions.html#Extensions

If the leading byte is 0x80 (128), the non-leading bytes of the field
are concatenated in big-endian order, with the result being a positive
number expressed in binary form.

```
