Add helper method for creating and opening archive object

This moves the common setup code of about 5 different callers into one
method. Error messages will now be common and shared in all places;
several paths did not have any messages at all before.

In addition, we now pick an ideal block size for the archive read based
off the larger value of our default buffer size or the st.st_blksize
field. For a filesystem such as NFS, this is often much larger than the
default 8192- values such as 32768 and 131072 are common.
