archive/tar: fix and cleanup readOldGNUSparseMap

* Assert that the format is GNU.
Both GNU and STAR have some form of sparse file support with
incompatible header structures. Worse yet, both formats use the
'S' type flag to indicate the presence of a sparse file.
As such, we should check the format (based on magic numbers)
and fail early.

* Move realsize parsing logic into readOldGNUSparseMap.
This is related to the sparse parsing logic and belongs here.

* Fix the termination condition for parsing sparse fields.
The termination condition for reading the sparse fields
is to simply check if the first byte of the offset field is NULL.
This does not seem to be documented in the GNU manual, but this is
the check done by the both the GNU and BSD implementations:
	http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/tar.git/tree/src/sparse.c?id=9a33077a7b7ad7d32815a21dee54eba63b38a81c#n731
	https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/blob/1fa9c7bf90f0862036a99896b0501c381584451a/libarchive/archive_read_support_format_tar.c#L2207

* Fix the parsing of sparse fields to use parseNumeric.
This is what GNU and BSD do. The previous two links show that
GNU and BSD both handle base-256 and base-8.

* Detect truncated streams.
The call to io.ReadFull does not check if the error is io.EOF.
Getting io.EOF in this method is never okay and should always be
converted to io.ErrUnexpectedEOF.

* Simplify the function.
The logic is essentially a do-while loop so we can remove
some redundant code.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.


Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
