Title: RFC: Add support for installing local tar files

Here is a branch that allows installing local tar files, like installing local zip files. This would make pgxnclient tremendously useful as a general extension installation tool, independent of the pgxn web service. Most non-pgxn extensions are distributed as tar files (particularly on pgfoundry), and so this would make it possible to easily install those as well. (Looking forward to the remote http feature as well.)

Let me know what you think. There could be a bit of refactoring to reduce the copy and paste between the zip and tar support.
