get_archive puts the file in memory

[AnthonyDeroche]

Long story short

When calling get_archive in containers.py, could you confirm that the whole file is stored in memory ? If so with a large file, the machine could run out of memory.

What do you suggest to me if I want to get a stream to avoid storing the whole file in memory ?

Your environment

aiodocker 0.19.1 python 3.8.6 Linux

Correct, the archive is stored in memory. We should support an alternative API for streaming archive's data probably, PR is welcome.
