So far, we checked that the tar present on the host was at most tar
1.29, because tar 1.30 changed the way it generates archives.
Having a maximum tar version requirement meant that we would eventually
always have to build our own host-tar, as distributions are updating
the version they use.
But now, we have found a way to generate reproducible archives starting
with tar 1.27 onward, so we no longer need the check for a maximum tar
version, so we can drop that requirement.
Note: this is semantically a revert of b8fa273d50 (check-host-tar.sh:
blacklist tar 1.30+), but keeping the new, mostly-linear code-path.
