Heiko Abraham fc90fa9417 Improve tar check if bsdtar is installed
If bsdtar is installed, fix script error for tar version detection.

bsdtar does not provide all expected command line (long) options
like "--hard-dereference". To ensure compatibility, mark version
of tar as 'invalid' and trigger build of 'host-tar'.
