[issue5685] use tarinfo module in distutils

[Tarek Ziadé <report@bugs.python.org> at psf.upfronthosting.co.za]

New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com>:

Currently, Distutils makes a system call to tar files, using the tar
command. Let's use Python's tarinfo module, so we don't rely on the tar
program anymore.
