Add Pre-Depends on tar >= 1.23 to dpkg
That's the tar version introducing the ‘--warning=no-timestamp’ option,
which dpkg started to use due to #640298. The version is satisfied in
stable, but making the dependency explicit is useful for systems
upgrading from oldstable directly to testing (or next stable), even if
that's not generally supported.
Closes: #642802
