Tom Lane 05b555d12b Fix tar files emitted by pg_dump and pg_basebackup to be POSIX conformant. ... Both programs got the "magic" string wrong, causing standard-conforming tar implementations to believe the output was just legacy tar format without any POSIX extensions. This doesn't actually matter that much, especially since pg_dump failed to fill the POSIX fields anyway, but still there is little point in emitting tar format if we can't be compliant with the standard. In addition, pg_dump failed to write the EOF marker correctly (there should be 2 blocks of zeroes not just one), pg_basebackup put the numeric group ID in the wrong place, and both programs had a pretty brain-dead idea of how to compute the checksum. Fix all that and improve the comments a bit. pg_restore is modified to accept either the correct POSIX-compliant "magic" string or the previous value. This part of the change will need to be back-patched to avoid an unnecessary compatibility break when a previous version tries to read tar-format output from 9.3 pg_dump.
