Added tar.gz support for folder upload.

[AdallomRoy]

When first uploading files (no directory @ remote), it's MUCH more efficient to tar.gz files @ local, upload the archive and unzip it @ the remote.
For comparison, some 170 seconds uploads cut down to 1-2 seconds during my tests. (more than x100)
It still falls back to using parallel upload for single files or if it fails in one of the steps.

How does this compare to rsync and what kind of latency is there on your connection?

Hi,

I haven't compared it to rsync, since rsync is required to be installed @ the remote, while I'm using the base Azure Linux image and it's not installed there (as opposed to tar which comes with the basic Linux image), so it's irrelevant for me.
I'm located in Israel, and running azurerm on West Europe - that's the main cause for the latency. I guess if I were running a local vagrant things would look differently.
As for the exact latency, this is an example ping result:
