Support of tar files

[jg-development]

Some providers use tar file for download.
=> mirasvit

This results in zipball errors.
Maybe add a tarball controller or convert to zip?

        "mirasvit/module-core": {

Hi @jg-development

Can you describe step to reproduce? I mean, where did you get this JSON payload and how is it used by Packeton

{
    "packages": {
        "mirasvit/module-core": {
            "1.2.0": {
                "name": "mirasvit/module-core",
                "version": "1.2.0",
                "version_normalized": "1.2.0.0",
                "dist": {
                    "type": "tar",
                    "url": "https://packages.mirasvit.com/XXXXX:XXXXXX/downloads/mirasvit-module-core-1.2.0-f9bcd4.tar",
                    "reference": "45e828042a2c197e86f9b649098bdefa12a20d48"
                },

Hi @vtsykun
this is from a magento2 extension provider. I was using it with the proxy feature, but I am pretty sure it can be used with a normal "submit" feature (example gitlab), too.
The zipball controller is always using zip for content-type output and "somewhere" the dist content is downloaded in the packeton/dismanager. Am I wrong here and packeton is repacking everything?
