Addresses #173 by using archive file stream instead of random access when reading from tar archives.
Due to the way this is implemented now, we won't be using parallel processes (i.e. the
parallelparameter is ignored). We could create chunks of files that are adjacent in the archive and split the chunks across multiple processes. However, that in turn would generate issues with the process bar.Ultimately, the file streaming seems to be very performant (possibly because we're not having to open/close individual files?) and I'm not too worried about performance. On my machine I can read the tar archive with 97k hemibrain skeletons in around 3 minutes which isn't too shabby.
In addition to the above this PR contains:
