* Use mixins for generating tests for different compression types.
* Make test_tarfile discoverable.
* Use more special tests (i.e. assertEqual, assertIs) instead of assertTrue.
* Add explicit test skips instead of reporting skipped tests as passed.
* Wrap long lines.
* Correct a comment for test_hardlink_extraction1.
* Add support.requires_gzip.
and some other minor enhancements.
The nti() function that converts a number field from a tar header to a number
failed to decode GNU tar specific base-256 fields. I also added support for
decoding and encoding negative base-256 number fields.

We don't need to create a temporary buffered binary or text file object just to
create an empty file.
Replace also os.fdopen(handle).close() by os.close(handle).
'latin-1' and 'utf-8'.
These are optimized in the Python Unicode implementation
to result in more direct processing, bypassing the codec
registry.

Issue #11224: Improved sparse file read support (r85916) introduced a
regression in _FileInFile which is used in file-like objects returned
by TarFile.extractfile(). The inefficient design of the
_FileInFile.read() method causes various dramatic side-effects and
errors:
- The data segment of a file member is read completely into memory
every(!) time a small block is accessed. This is not only slow
but may cause unexpected MemoryErrors with very large files.
- Reading members from compressed tar archives is even slower
because of the excessive backwards seeking which is done when the
same data segment is read over and over again.
- As a backwards seek on a TarFile opened in stream mode is not
possible, using extractfile() fails with a StreamError.

so it made no sense to add filter as a positional argument.

In order to create symlinks on Windows, SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege
is an account privilege that is required to be held by the user. Not only
must the privilege be enabled for the account, the activated privileges for
the currently running application must be adjusted to enable the requested
privilege.
Rather than exposing an additional function to be called prior to the user's
first os.symlink call, we handle the AdjustTokenPrivileges Windows API call
internally and only expose os.symlink when the privilege escalation was
successful.
Due to the change of only exposing os.symlink when it's available, we can
go back to the original test skipping methods of checking via `hasattr`.
extensions. Thus, in addition to GNUTYPE_SPARSE headers, sparse
information in pax headers created by GNU tar can now be decoded.
All three formats 0.0, 0.1 and 1.0 are supported.
On filesystems that support this, holes in files are now restored
whenever a sparse member is extracted.
