gh-121267: Improve performance of tarfile (#121267) (#121269)

Tarfile in the default write mode spends much of its time resolving UIDs
into usernames and GIDs into group names. By caching these mappings, a
significant speedup can be achieved.

In my simple benchmark[1], this extra caching speeds up tarfile by 8x.
