Fixes #9818

This features allows to use uncompressed tar archives as input. Instead of always assuming that a tar archive is gzipped we check first if it is just a tar and apply the appropriate unpacking thereafter.

Please do not open a pull request until you have checked ALL of these:

• [x] Create the PR as draft .
• [ ] Run make pre-commit -B to fix codegen and lint problems.
• [x] Sign-off your commits (otherwise the DCO check will fail).
• [x] Use a conventional commit message (otherwise the commit message check will fail).
• [x] "Fixes #" is in both the PR title (for release notes) and this description (to automatically link and close the issue).
• [ ] Add unit or e2e tests. Say how you tested your changes. If you changed the UI, attach screenshots.
• [ ] Github checks are green.
• [ ] Once required tests have passed, mark your PR "Ready for review".

If changes were requested, and you've made them, dismiss the review to get it reviewed again.
