[FEATURE] Custom filenames in archive

[psi-4ward]

What / Why

I've lot's of <some-tmp-filename> files which maps to a human-readable filename in a database so I want to rename the file inside the archive.

Something like

tar.create( gzip: true }, [
  new PackJob('my_dog.jpg', path.resolve('ada9dj0j091j2e')),
  new PackJob('water-picture.jpg', path.resolve('pl9sn47fhbf')),
])

Or is this already possible? Looks like the API is too restrieced.

used tar-stream for now: mafintosh/tar-stream#24 (comment)

You can do this as of 7.3 by modifying the entry in an options.onWriteEntry method.

[exotexot]

There is no documentation on how to use the options.onWriteEntry method...

Oh, that's a good point. Added some docs on 02f883a.
