tarfile: TarFile.offset attribute is not updated with the remainder when closing a TarFile

Bug report

Bug description:

The TarFile.offset attribute is not updated with the remainder when closing the tar.

import io
import pathlib
import tarfile

tar = tarfile.open("test.tar", "w")
t = tarfile.TarInfo("foo")
t.size = 123
tar.addfile(t, io.BytesIO(b"a" * t.size))
tar.close()
assert len(pathlib.Path("test.tar").read_bytes()) == tar.offset  # Fails because tar.offset is 2048, although 10240 bytes have been written

If this intentional, a test case asserting the current behavior should be added.
In case this is not intentional, a suggested change to make the offset match the number of bytes written, and a test case asserting it, are included in the snippet below.
In either case, I'd be happy to submit a PR.

I file rilevanti sono Lib/tarfile.py e Lib/test/test_tarfile.py. Inizia leggendo TarFile.close e i test esistenti per EOF-marker, quindi esegui la suite di test di tarfile. Il lavoro è completato quando il comportamento dell’offset è trattato esplicitamente e corrisponde al numero previsto di byte scritti dopo la chiusura.
