tdf#147801 Demote bsdtar in favor of tar in configure.ac
The utility used to extract archives including tar.xz is chosen among
'gtar gnutar bsdtar tar' (respectively) that may be present in the
system PATH.
When compiling LibreOffice, there is a possiblity that some bad tools
that are available in the PATH are chosen incorrectly. As an example,
Anaconda on Windows provides a 'bsdtar' utility which can not handle
tar.xz files, but it is chosen as the archive extraction utility.
This patch demotes 'bsdtar' comapred to 'tar' in configure.ac to fix
the issue, which is filed as tdf#147801.
