Motivation for change:
* Recursive logic is hard to follow, since it tends to apply
things in reverse. On the other hand, the tar formats tend to
describe meta headers as affecting the next entry.
* Recursion also applies changes in the wrong order. Two test
files are attached that use multiple headers. The previous Go
behavior differs from what GNU and BSD tar do.
