Improve errors from tar-in/tgz-in commands (RHBZ#591155 RHBZ#591250).
This commit improves the error messages from the tar-in, tgz-in (etc) commands by capturing the stderr from the tar command in a file and sending that back in the error message. The method used for the error file is primitive, and there is a case for a more generic error file mechanism, but this will do for now. Sample error messages after this change: $ virt-tar -u /tmp/test1.img /tmp/not.tar / tar_in: tar subcommand failed on directory: /: tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tools/virt-tar line 247. $ virt-tar -u /tmp/test1.img /tmp/test.tar / tar_in: tar subcommand failed on directory: /: tar: access.log: Cannot open: Read-only file system tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tools/virt-tar line 247.
