[PATCH V3 1/3] base-files: sysupgrade: add tar.sh with helpers for building archives

From: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo at mein.io>

This allows building uncompressed tar archives from shell scripts (and
compressing them later if needed)

V2: Simplify dd in __tar_print_padding (I still think helper is useful)
    Hardcode 0/0/ root/root for now as most likely it'll be enough
    Simplify name validation (leasing slash)
    Reorder some variables
V3: Fix dd in __tar_print_padding
    Rename functions
    Drop unused functions
    Document usage
