Add tar
archive choice for Compress

Sometimes, many often requires the files to be compressed only to be copied to pendrives and decompress it elsewhere (compression is often required if there are too many minute files as copying uncompressed will take too much time). tar
seems to be the fastest for this usecase. On slower machines, current choices like zip, tar.xz, and 7z are pretty slow if the directory is too large.
Personally I do use tar
or rsync
myself. But some of my friends (often) ask me on what else can they do to copy their work directory to a USB drive faster. So I thought it would better to suggest adding it to nautilus so that many would benefit.
