[LU-14198] Several dist-* make-targets broken when building with uid > 2^21

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.14.0
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.12.5
• Environment: Centos 8.2.2004 building with user that has uid=257774961
• Severity: 2
• Assignee: Daniel Ahlin
• Reporter: Daniel Ahlin

Description

The autoconf tar test will fail for users with UID > 2^21 since the tar ustar format is specified (which do not support high UIDs).

This causes no tar to be picked up by autoconf which causes the tar-based dist-targets (e.g dist-gzip needed for make rpms),  to fail.

The attached patch changes to tar pax format.

(This is similar to what is for another reason proposed in LU-12078.
