This also fixes the bug reported in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-12/msg00012.html
* src/common.h (starting_file_option): Describe the variable.
* src/names.c (add_starting_file): New function.
(name_match): Ignore everything before the member indicated by the
--starting-file option

Without this change, some ASAN-enabled test runs would fail with the
following. Also, strip an additional .tar suffix only if the just-
stripped suffix did not match /^\.t/".

The --owner and --group options now accept operands of the form
NAME:NUM, so that you can specify both symbolic name and numeric
ID for owner and group. Also, in these options, NAME no longer
needs to be present in the current host's user and group
databases; this implements Debian enhancement request 136231
