tarfile: OOM hardening: Limit size of long names/links to 1 MiB
Tarballs have long names and long link targets structured by a
special tar header with a GNU extension followed by the actual
content (padded to 512 bytes). Essentially, think of a name as
a special kind of file.
The limit of a file size in a header is 12 bytes, aka 10**12
or 1 TB. While this works OK-ish for file content that we stream
to extractors, we need to copy file names into memory, and this
opens us up to an OOM DoS attack.
Limit the file name size to 1 MiB, as libarchive does, to make
things safer.
