tar-tree: Use the prefix field of a tar header
... to store parts of the path, if possible. This allows us to avoid writing extended headers in certain cases (long pathes can only be split at '/' chars). Also adds a file to the test repo with a 100 chars long directory name. Even old versions of tar that don't understand POSIX extended headers should be able to handle this testcase. Btw.: The longest path in the kernel tree currently has 70 chars. Together with a 30 chars long prefix this would already cross the field limit of 100 chars.
