Improve file signature #81

@casey

Description

@casey

filepack archive, added in #80, uses FILEPACK as the archive file signature.

I think the file signature could be improved in a few ways:

  • Use an invalid UTF-8 sequence, to make it impossible for a plain text file to start with the file signature.
  • Use emoji, since as far as I know, there are no widely used file signatures that contain emoji
  • Add a version number
  • Make it longer/more random, so it's unlikely to appear by accident
