The nti() function that converts a number field from a tar header to a number
failed to decode GNU tar specific base-256 fields. I also added support for
decoding and encoding negative base-256 number fields.

instead of the locale encoding.

wcsftime() doesn't format time zone correctly.

Also fix the bz2 module, whose classes used the same algorithm.

I tested this manually; it would be great to have buildbots using
installed Pythons, including Pythons configured with different prefix
and exec-prefix.

new test cases for importing bad packages and unreadable packages dirs.

This introduces a small private API for this common pattern.
The issue has been discovered thanks to Martin's huge-mem buildbot.

- Using the file role with {placeholders} is IMO clearer than fake
  Python code.

- The fact that sys.version[:3] gives '3.2' is a CPython detail and
  should not be advertised (see #9442), even if some stdlib modules
  currently rely on that detail.
