t9502: do not assume GNU tar
The check_snapshot function makes sure that no cruft outside the
repository hierarchy is added to the tar archive. The output from
"tar tf" on the resulting archive is inspected to see if there is
anything that does not begin with "$prefix/".
There are two issues with this implementation:
- Traditional tar implemenations that do not understand
pax_global_header will write it out as if it is a plain file at
the top-level;
- Some implementations of tar do not add trailing slash when
showing a directory entry (i.e. the output line for the entire
archive will show "$prefix", not "$prefix/").
Fix them so that what we want to validate can be tested with
traditional tar implementations.
