This breaks the checks, effectively. Unless 7th argument is given,
AT_TAR_CHECK runs its body once for each supported archive format
(v7,oldgnu,ustar,posix,gnu). The option -H must never be used within
AT_TAR_CHECK, since it will cause the same test to repeat 5 times.
If you wish the test to run only for the specified archive format,
please use AT_TAR_CHECK last argument (see longv7.at, for an example).

Now, both update.at and truncate.at check the functionality that
should work with any supported archive format, not only `pax'.
If they break due to nanoseconds resolution, the test logic
should be fixed, instead of abriging the set of tested formats
to one.

Sergey
