libarchive is not async and cannot be used async without involving green threads, which have already proven to be very problematic. unpacking tar archives is rare enough that spawning a new thread for each shouldn't be too much overhead, and the additional data copy probably also won't hurt performance too much. we may even benefit from being able to extract not just one archive per event loop but as many archives as we can keep fed.
