When working on ostree-ext and importing from tar, it's quite inefficient and awkward for small files to end up creating a whole `GInputStream` and `GFileInfo` and etc. for small files. Plus the gtk-rs binding API to map from `impl Read` to Gio https://docs.rs/gio/0.9.1/gio/struct.ReadInputStream.html requires that the input stream is `Send` but the Rust `tar` API isn't. This is only 1/3 of the problem; we also need similar APIs to directly create a symlink, and to stream large objects via a push-based API.
