Don't include file type bits in tar archive's mode field.
The "file mode" bits in the tar file header is not supposed to include the
file type bits, e.g. S_IFREG or S_IFDIR. The file type is stored in a
separate field. This isn't a problem in practice, all tar programs ignore
the extra bits, but let's be tidy.
This came up in a discussion around bug #11949, reported by Hendrik Grewe,
although this doesn't fix the issue with tar --append. That turned out to be
a bug in GNU tar. Schilly's tartest program revealed this defect in the tar
created by pg_basebackup.
This problem goes as far as we we've had pg_basebackup, but since this
hasn't caused any problems in practice, let's be conservative and fix in
master only.
