Description of the bug:

The download_and_extract function from repository_ctx can handle .tar.bz2 archives just fine, but it does not recognize the .tbz file extension.

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Use a call to the http_archive function from @bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl that tries to download a .tbz file, eg:

http_archive(
        name = "opam_fmt",
        url = "https://erratique.ch/software/fmt/releases/fmt-0.9.0.tbz",
        strip_prefix = "fmt-0.9.0",
        build_file = "@//saq/common/build/ocaml:fmt.BUILD.bazel",
        type = "tar.bz2",
    )

It will raise an error like:

Error in download_and_extract: Expected a file with a .zip, .jar, .war, .aar, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.xz, .txz, .tar.zst, .tzst, .tar.bz2, .ar or .deb suffix (got /home/bsu/.cache/bazel/_bazel_bsu/6ee5cfe95d49437cbae81099cbfd479d/external/opam_fmt/temp479414337524270073/fmt-0.9.0.tbz)

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

No. Best we could come up with was using a wrapper that checks for the file extension and manually enforcing type=".tar.bz2" when necessary, but this is clearly a hacky workaround that we'd like to avoid.

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?
