[issue8633] tarfile doesn't support undecodable filename in PAX format

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

I didn't read the whole spec, only read quickly the invalid option.

The idead behind this issue is to be able to read a file generated by GNU tar which keeps the filename unchanged if it's not encodable to utf8. (z-pax.tar attachment was generated by GNU tar).
