The code for building pax extended headers has been miscalculating
lengths slightly shorter than powers of 10 since I wrote it in 2006.
That affects entries for paths with a length of 990, 991, 9989, 9990,
9991, 99988 etc. and link targets 4 characters shorter. Here's a
series for fixing it.

archive-tar: fix pax extended header length calculation
archive-tar: use size_t in strbuf_append_ext_header()
archive-tar: turn length miscalculation warning into BUG
