Disable mtime preservation when unpacking tar archives, as some
filesystems error when asked to set it. Follows how
[cargo](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/1ad92f77a819953bcef75a24019b66681ff28b1c/src/cargo/ops/cargo_package/verify.rs#L59
) and
[uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/blob/0da0cd8b4310d3ac4be96223bd1e24ada109af9e/crates/uv-extract/src/stream.rs#L658)
handle it.
