I've realized that -a in busybox tar is not for auto-compress like
GNU/bsdtar even though busybox's tar is based on libarchive (like bsdtar).
Since busybox tar performs auto-detection when reading/extracting, is
there a chance that we change '-a' to perform like bsdtar/GNU tar for
convenience even in creation mode?
