dpkg-source: do not store user/group names in generated tarballs
Do not store usernames and group names when creating tarballs
and use numeric UID/GID 0 instead. This concerns native source packages,
debian tarballs in "3.0 (quilt)" source packages, and any other source
format creating new tarballs with Dpkg::Source::Archive.
