GNU implementation of tar ((t)ape (ar)chiver)

Edit Package tar

This package normally also includes the program "rmt", which provides
remote tape drive control. Since there are compatible versions of 'rmt'
in either the 'star' package or the 'dump' package, we didn't put 'rmt'
into this package. If you are planning to use the remote tape features
provided by tar you have to also install the 'dump' or the 'star'
package.

- disable 'runtime checks' in m4/*.m4 that override
  system calls with custom implementations to workaround
  very old kernel/libc bugs (dating 2003-2009)
  we do not ship those buggy components nowdays.

- Switch to default archive type to POSIX.1-2001, which is ten years
  old and has no limits on filesize,filename length etc. (forwarded request 114887 from elvigia)
