[issue23193] Please support "numeric_owner" in tarfile

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

Note that this change will break code that subclasses TarFile and overrides chown(), as suggested in msg233915. I'm not too concerned about that, since chown() is not documented. Ideally it would be renamed to _chown(), but that's probably a separate issue.
