Joe Tsai ce5aac17f9 archive/tar: properly format GNU base-256 encoding
Motivation:
* Previous implementation silently failed when an integer overflow
occurred. Now, we report an ErrFieldTooLong.
* Previous implementation did not encode in two's complement format and was
unable to encode negative numbers.

The relevant GNU specification says:
<<<
GNU format uses two's-complement base-256 notation to store values
that do not fit into standard ustar range.
>>>

Fixes #12436
