Optional `-C` and `--dir` options are added to the `-x` main operation of the jar tool. The value for these options is expected to be a file path which is expected to be a directory to which the jar will be extracted. When neither `-C` nor `--dir` are used, the extract operation of the jar tool will continue to behave like it did before this enhancement and will extract the jar into the current working directory.
