pactest: set package tar format to GNU_FORMAT
python-3.8 changed the default tar format to PAX_FORMAT. This caused issues in our testsuite with package extraction of files with UTF-8 characters as we run the tests under the C locale. sycn600.py: error: error while reading package /tmp/pactest-xuhri4xa/var/cache/pacman/pkg/unicodechars-2.0-1.pkg.tar.gz: Pathname can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale. Set format back to GNU_FORMAT. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
