In the initial implementation of reproducible tarballs, they were missing directory entries, while .zip archives had them. It meant that on extracting the tarball, directory entries got the current timestamp. This patch fixes this by including directory entries in the tarball, with reproducible timestamps. It also moves sorting inside tar, to ensure reproducible directory entry timestamps on extract (without the need of `--delay-directory-restore` option, when extracting with GNU tar. BSD tar got that right by default.) `--sort=` option was introduced in GNU tar 1.28 (2014-07-28) Follow-up to d52fe1b libssh2#1357 Closes #xxxx
