archive: Replace entry parsing with tar-core Parser 
Replace the hand-rolled entry parsing loop and sparse header
handling with tar-core's Parser state machine. The Parser
processes GNU long name/link extensions, PAX headers (including
global extensions), and GNU/PAX sparse formats internally,
emitting fully resolved entries.

This brings PAX sparse v1.0 support (fixing issues #286 and #295)
with no public API changes. Entries::raw(true) is preserved using
the original single-header reading code path for callers that need
to see every tar record (including extension headers) individually.
