gnu-tar: install as gtar, link gnubin/tar -> gtar

dpkg needs gnu-tar to install with a well-known name, so we mimic the
setup used by coreutils of always installing with the 'g' prefix, and
offering the clashing executable name in $opt/libexec/gnubin.

gnu-tar has been installed as 'gtar'.
If you really need to use it as 'tar', you can add a 'gnubin' directory
to your PATH from your bashrc like:
PATH="#{opt_prefix}/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
