go:embed via []byte stream or fs.File support

[alx52]

I tried to solve it using version 4, but I couldn't find a way to unarchive

@mholt It would be really cool to have this feature. Any suggestions if it is possible already or if you will implement it?

Thanks for the feature request. I haven't tried this, but does the example from the README (slightly modified for embedded .tar.xz) not work? (v4)

format := archiver.CompressedArchive{
	Compression: archiver.Xz{},
	Archival:    archiver.Tar{},
}


handler := func(ctx context.Context, f archiver.File) error {
	// do something with the file
	return nil
}

err := format.Extract(ctx, bytes.NewReader(embeddedFile), nil, handler)
if err != nil {
	return err
}

Since I believe this can already work just fine, I will close this, but feel free to continue discussion and if something is not working we can reopen it.
