  • during tarfile parsing, a zlib error indicates invalid data
  • tarfile.open now raises a descriptive exception from the zlib error
  • this makes it clear to the user that they may be trying to open a
    corrupted tar file.
    (cherry picked from commit b6fe857)

Note: since BPO-39717 wasn't backported to 3.9, this backport PR doesn't use from None in the new raise statement either.
