Changes since v3:
- Use deflateSetHeader() correctly, thanks to Dscho.
- New patch to update the format-related documentation.

  archive: update format documentation
  archive: rename archiver data field to filter_command
  archive-tar: factor out write_block()
  archive-tar: add internal gzip implementation
  archive-tar: use OS_CODE 3 (Unix) for internal gzip
  archive-tar: use internal gzip by default
