Hey @PeterAlfredLee I can invest some time starting from tomorrow. It would
be good if you are able to go through the changes once again and comment on the
TODOs I left in there.
Regarding the removal of the code duplication in my opinion this would
require some major changes to the existing `TarArchiveInputStream`. So we
should decide what we want to do about it in this PR.

> The TarArchiveInputStream only provides sequential access. If only a small
> amount of files from the archive is needed large amount of data in the input
> stream needs to be skipped.
> Therefore I was working on a implementation to provide random access to
> TarFiles equal to the ZipFile api. The basic idea behind the implementation
> is the following
> * Random access is backed by a SeekableByteChannel
> * Read all headers of the tar file and save the place to the data of every
> header
> * User can request an input stream for any entry in the archive multiple
> times
