Switch tar(1) write default format to 'pax'

Lets us store longer file names, link names, finer grained timestamps,
larger archive member files, etc; at the expense of larger uncompressed
archives and less widespread support across the ecosystem.  If you're
unhappy with the new defaults, you can use -F ustar.  Or you can help
fix bugs / find a better middle ground.

Add tar(1) -F option to select write format

We want to move towards 'pax' as the default format for writing, this
option lets users downgrade to -F ustar where the 'pax' format isn't
convenient/usable (same as -x <format> in pax(1)).

-F <format> is more generic than -o/-O. -H (GNU tar) was already used
and we don't want long options so --format (NetBSD/FreeBSD) is excluded
too.

Make TAPE=- mean stdout in tar

Some scripts and GUI ssh clients assume that tar writes to standard output by
default.  This changes allows enforcing such behavior by setting TAPE="-" in
user profile.

Also, this makes parsing argument to "-f" option and contents of TAPE
environment variable consistent.

Make -h and -L follow symlinks on extraction of directories.
This means that existing symbolic links won't get overwritten with a
directory, but instead the directory is created/updated with the privs
from the archive at the end of the symlink chain.  Great for unpacking
OpenBSD release tarballs, where you have linked away stuff due to lack of
space on a certain partition etc.

Our -T flag was basically equivalent to -I but different from gnutar's -T
so -T gets thrown out.
