[Bug-tar] tar-1.13.92 strips leading or contained './'

[Martin Schlemmer]

Hi

As above.  Having a path start with './' or containing '/./' is not
a security risk, and even used by some archiving apps as security
measure (like unzip that appends './').  This behaviour breaks reacent
tarballs (among those are tcpdump-3.8.1.tar.gz, and most ones in RH
src.rpm's).

Attached is a possible fix.  More info at:

Thanks,
