Issue #9065: no longer use "root" as the default for the
uname and gname field. If tarfile creates a new archive and adds a file with a uid/gid that doesn't have a corresponding name on the system (e.g. because the user/group account was deleted) it uses the empty string in the uname/gname field now instead of "root". Using "root" as the default was a bad idea because on extraction the uname/gname fields are supposed to override the uid/gid fields. So, all archive members with nameless uids/gids belonged to the root user after extraction.
