    comics: Remove support for tar and tar-like commands
    
    When handling tar files, or using a command with tar-compatible syntax,
    to open comic-book archives, both the archive name (the name of the
    comics file) and the filename (the name of a page within the archive)
    are quoted to not be interpreted by the shell.
    
    But the filename is completely with the attacker's control and can start
    with "--" which leads to tar interpreting it as a command line flag.
    
    This can be exploited by creating a CBT file (a tar archive with the
    .cbt suffix) with an embedded file named something like this:
    "--checkpoint-action=exec=bash -c 'touch ~/hacked;'.jpg"
    
    CBT files are infinitely rare (CBZ is usually used for DRM-free
    commercial releases, CBR for those from more dubious provenance), so
    removing support is the easiest way to avoid the bug triggering. All
    this code was rewritten in the development release for GNOME 3.26 to not
    shell out to any command, closing off this particular attack vector.
    
    This also removes the ability to use libarchive's bsdtar-compatible
    binary for CBZ (ZIP), CB7 (7zip), and CBR (RAR) formats. The first two
    are already supported by unzip and 7zip respectively. libarchive's RAR
    support is limited, so unrar is a requirement anyway.
    
    Discovered by Felix Wilhelm from the Google Security Team.
