[Attn. Maintainer] tar

[Achim Gratz]

GNU tar has seen some development activity in the last three years
again, as a new feature ZStandard compression is now supported.  I've
changed the cygport file minimally and locally built the package on both
arches successfully.  There are some test failures that look like they
were probably there in the current version also, but I haven't checked
so far.

Test numbers 218 and 219 only failed on 32bit, but also on a different
system, so it might be related to the default ACL there.

Here's the changed cygport file:

In light of recent and not-so-recent discussions with Eric I'd like to
adopt GNU tar, either as the sole maintainer or as a co-maintainer
together with Eric.
