Add ability to read .tgz files

Project Member Reported by michaelsavage@google.com, Feb 23 2018 
Chrome Version: 63.0.3239.140 (copy from chrome://version)
OS: Chromeos (e.g. Win7, OSX 10.9.5, etc...)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Download .tgz file
(2) Cannot read contents
(3)

What is the expected result?
You should be able to read contents

What happens instead?
It states that there are no files in the folder

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
I assume this is a limitation in Chromeos but is it possible to get the feature added? 

For graphics-related bugs, please copy/paste the contents of the about:gpu

This is a feature request for Chrome OS, isn't it?

I have no idea who owns this, but it's not the infra team.

Hey team, yes this would be a feature request. Apologizes if this is in the right queue. Maybe you could point me in the right direction?

michaelsavage@ - This feature request has been triaged is now in the Files app backlog.

Maybe install the "Wicked Good Unarchiver" from the Chrome WebStore on your ChromeOS device?

It add supports RAR/7z/CABISO/pax/tar to Files app.  Double click your .tgz file in Files App, to uncompress the file and see its contained files.

weifangsun@ - sorry to assign again. our enterprise customer is asking us to support tar, rar, 7z, Lhaz unarchive. What kind of types is the Files app backlog covering?

soushi@ - I believe we should currently support .zip and .rar archive files. Prior to adding additional archive types, we're looking first to migrate our zip support off NaCl in 2019 so I don't anticipate we will expand archive support in the first half of the year at least.

+amistry@ for visibility.
