[issue23193] Please support "numeric_owner" in tarfile

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

Updated patch with a few minor doc tweaks.

The one substantive change I did make was to add numeric_owner to the call to self.chown() when setting directory owners. I believe this is correct, but I need to convince myself and to write a test.
