archive: Unconditionally honor PAX size (#441)

This synchronizes our behavior with most other tar parsers
(including astral-tokio-tar and Go archive/tar) ensuring
that we don't parse things differently.

The problem with parsing size in particular differently is
it's easy to craft a tar archive that appears completely differently
between two parsers. This is the case with e.g. crates.io where
astral-tokio-tar is used for validation server side, but cargo uses
the `tar` crate to upload.

With this, the two projects agree.
