[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/tar: bump version to 1.30

Arnout, All,

Yet at some point, we will want to bump tar to a newer version.

What I would suggest is that we pin the host version to 1.29, and still
allow bumping the target version, so maybe something like:

    TAR_VERSION = 1.30
    HOST_TAR_VERSION = 1.29
