archive/tar: detect out of bounds accesses in PAX records resulting f…

…rom padded lengths

Handles the case in which padding of a PAX record's length field
violates invariants about the formatting of record, whereby it no
longer matches the prescribed format:

    "%d %s=%s\n", <length>, <keyword>, <value>

as per:

    https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/pax.html#tag_20_92_13_03

0-padding, and paddings of other sorts weren't handled and we assumed
that only non-padded decimal lengths would be passed in.
Added test cases to ensure that the parsing still proceeds as expected.

The prior crashing repro:

    0000000000000000000000000000000030 mtime=1432668921.098285006\n30 ctime=2147483649.15163319

exposed the fallacy in the code, that assumed that the length would ALWAYS be a
non-padded decimal length string.

This bug has existed since Go1.1 as per CL 6700047.

Thanks to Josh Bleecher Snyder for fuzzing this package, and thanks to Tom
Thorogood for advocacy, raising parity with GNU Tar, but for providing more test cases.

Fixes golang#40196
