pkg/archive: RebaseArchiveEntries(): ignore G110

pkg/archive/copy.go:357:16: G110: Potential DoS vulnerability via decompression bomb (gosec)
                if _, err = io.Copy(rebasedTar, srcTar); err != nil {
                            ^

Ignoring GoSec G110. See https://github.com/securego/gosec/pull/433
and https://cure53.de/pentest-report_opa.pdf, which recommends to
replace io.Copy with io.CopyN7. The latter allows to specify the
maximum number of bytes that should be read. By properly defining
the limit, it can be assured that a GZip compression bomb cannot
easily cause a Denial-of-Service.
After reviewing, this should not affect us, because here we do not
read into memory.
