Commit 23a1c6578c87fca0e361c4f5f9a07df5ae1f9858 improved pg_basebackup's ability to parse tar archives, but also arranged to parse them only when we need to make some modification to the contents of the archive. That's a problem, because the server doesn't actually terminate tar archives. When the new parsing logic was engaged, pg_basebackup would properly terminate the tar file, but when it was skipped, pg_basebackup would just write whatever it got from the server, meaning that the terminator was missing. Most versions of tar are willing to overlook the missing terminator, but the AIX buildfarm animals were not. Fix by inventing a new kind of bbstreamer that just blindly adds a terminator, and using it whenever we don't parse the tar archive.
