wrap: catch failure to extract tarball and raise WrapException

This most likely happens when the source archive has files which take
advantage of case sensitivity, and someone is unfortunate enough to have
to work with broken operating systems that do not have the capacity to
use modern technology, like the 1970s invention of case sensitive
filesystems.

For example, Windows and macOS both have retrocomputing environments,
where case sensitive abilities were carefully removed from modern
filesystems in order to share the delights of classical computing with
the masses.

On such systems, innocent tarballs fail to extract with:

```
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'C:\path\to\file'
```

thereby demonstrating Microsoft's unbounded and enthusiastic love for
users (who are, universally, retrocomputing fans).

n.b. there is, begrudgingly, a secret option for crazy people who hate
retrocomputing to enable modern 1970s computing on Windows systems.
Naturally, no one with any sense would ever use this, and it is rightly
left in its sensible default in for example Github Actions.

Fixes #12344
