Fix pg_waldump/t/001_basic.pl with BSD tar on ZFS. The new test fails with an error about a missing WAL file on that stack, because it is archived in GNU tar's --sparse --format=posix format. BSD tar uses that format by default, unlike GNU tar itself, and ZFS triggers it by implicitly creating sparse files when it sees a lot of zeroes.
The problem will surely also affect real users of the new tar support in pg_waldump (commit b15c1513) and pg_verifybackup (commit b3cf461b3) on such systems. Ideas under discussion, but for now the test is made to pass by disabling sparse file detection in BSD tar.
