[New-bugs-announce] [issue18223] Refactor test_tarfile

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

test_tarfile already use parametric classes approach for constructing different tests. The proposed patch extends this approach to generating tests for different compression types.

In additional this patch:

* Makes test_tarfile discoverable.
* Uses more special tests (i.e. assertEqual, assertIs) instead of assertTrue.
* Adds explicit test skips instead of reporting skipped tests as passed.
* Wraps long lines.
