Fix semantics of -K used together with explicit member names.

This also fixes the bug reported in
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-12/msg00012.html

* src/common.h (starting_file_option): Describe the variable.
* src/names.c (add_starting_file): New function.
(name_match): Ignore everything before the member indicated by the
--starting-file option
* src/tar.c: Use add_starting_file to handle the -K option.

 When '-a' option is in effect, zstd compression is selected if the

+* The -K option interacts properly with member names given in the command line
+
+Names of members to extract can be specified along with the "-K NAME"
+option. In this case, tar will extract NAME and those of named members
+that appear in the archive after it, which is consistent with the
+semantics of the option.
+
+Previous versions of tar extracted NAME, those of named members that
+appeared before it, and everything after it.
