This patch series cleans up some issues with nbdkit-tar-filter and (in
patch 3) implements a new tar-limit feature which limits how much of
the tar file we will read to find the entry within the tar file that
we will serve.  This protects against the case where a tar file is
presented that contains much content at the front that we must iterate
over (and download) before we get to the entry we are interested in.
