archive/tar: reuse temporary buffer in writeHeader
A temporary 512 bytes buffer is allocated for every call to writeHeader. This buffer could be reused the lower the number of memory allocations. benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta BenchmarkWriteFiles100k 634622051 583810847 -8.01% benchmark old allocs new allocs delta BenchmarkWriteFiles100k 2701920 2602621 -3.68% benchmark old bytes new bytes delta BenchmarkWriteFiles100k 115383884 64349922 -44.23% This change is very important if your code has to write a lot of tarballs with a lot of files.
