Most of the tar and zip code was nicely split out into two
abstracted files which knew only about their specific
formats. The entry point to this code was a single "write
archive" function.

However, as these basic formats grow more complex (e.g., by
handling multiple file extensions and format names), a
static list of the entry point functions won't be enough.
Instead, let's provide a way for the tar and zip code to
tell the main archive code what they support by registering
archiver names and functions.
