The Reader and Writer have hard-coded constants regarding the
offsets and lengths of certain fields in the tar format sprinkled
all over. This makes it harder to verify that the offsets are
correct since a reviewer would need to search for them throughout
the code. Instead, all information about the layout of header
fields should be centralized in one single file. This has the
advantage of being both centralized, and also acting as a form
of documentation about the header struct format.

This method was chosen over using "encoding/binary" since that
method would cause an allocation of a header struct every time
binary.Read was called. This method causes zero allocations and
its logic is no longer than if structs were declared.

Updates #12594
