This class represents a sparse entry in a Tar archive.

The C structure for a sparse entry is:

struct posix_header {
struct sparse sp[21]; // TarConstants.SPARSELEN_GNU_SPARSE     - offset 0
char isextended;      // TarConstants.ISEXTENDEDLEN_GNU_SPARSE - offset 504
};
Whereas, "struct sparse" is:
struct sparse {
char offset[12];   // offset 0
char numbytes[12]; // offset 12
};
