Fix `:file_tar` compatibility with PHP8

The file_tar module uses an old PHP lib called EasyTar.class
. It's not to be found online and it is incompatible with PHP8, so it would be nice to replace it with a cleaner solution to compress/decompress tar files.
It appears to be possible with the native PHP class Phar
:
// decompress from gz
$p = new PharData('files.tar.gz');
$p->decompress(); // creates files.tar
// unarchive from the tar
$phar = new PharData('files.tar');
$phar->extractTo('new_dir');
Let's try this !
