Description

Should be able to eliminate unpack_isize in the tarball logic. Can use the byteorder crate, but the int_to_from_bytes feature has been stabilized and should ship in an upcoming Rust release, at which point we can just use that.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all uses of unpack isize in tarball code and replace with standard byte order methods from the byteorder crate or the stabilized int from bytes method.
