Silence untar warning on Windows #427

Warning messages: 1: In untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : skipping pax global extended headers 2: In untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : skipping pax global extended headers

This is a true warning, but it isn't a concern for users, so we should probably quiet it.

I seem to recall there being a reason this was more difficult than it seems, but I don't remember why.

I'm now getting this warning on Mac R v4.0.0. I did not get this warning on Mac R 3.6.3.

Side note: This warning is being converted into an error at install time of revdepcheck::revdep_check, preventing revdep_check to work if a GitHub dependency exists.

Following up to my earlier comment. I had set a system environment variable of TAR="" on my machine. Removing this environment variable removed the skipping pax global extended headers warning on Mac.
