This works, but it feels far too magic and likely to break in the
future.  I'd rather add a new field for base snapshot type, either as a
const char * set that to ".tar" for the relevant archive formats or as a
bitmask which is set to 0x08 for now to allow fallback to tar.  If we do
that, we should extract at least that bit value to a named constant to
make it clear what is going on.

This bypasses the permitted snapshots configuration, but I guess that's
ok because signature lookup is cheap unlike archive creation.
