Now that we handle permissions in each filesystems, and no longer in the
intermediate tarball, we no longer need tar to store extended attributes.

What's more, we really want it to store no attributes at all, to be sure
we don't have rogue extended attributes leaking in...

Ran some scenaios as a regression on existing target builds before and
after the change.  I did not use a SElinux enabled system.  I'll keep
that in mind as a scenario that probably needs checked.
