Archive filesystems do not close file after deletion.
We noticed this undesired behaviour in one of out processes using fsspec:

```python
import fsspec
import psutil
import gc
fs = fsspec.filesystem("tar", fo="./foo.tar")

# here other things happen, eg
# filelist = fs.find("/")

del fs
gc.collect()  # returns 0, so fs is not collectable...

print(psutil.Process().open_files())
```
prints out
`[popenfile(path='/path/to/foo.tar', fd=4, position=4096, mode='r', flags=557056)]`

This has been observed on at least zip and tar filesystems, and lead to filling up our harddrives very quicky on our servers...
