POSIX extended format headers do not include PID by default

The intent is to make binary-equivalent PAX archives easy to create.  If
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, the POSIX standard default is used, which embeds
the pid.

* src/common.h (posixly_correct): New global.
* src/tar.c (decode_options): Detect the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment
variable.
* src/buffer.c (add_chunk_header): Change filenames of multipart files to
omit the pid.
* src/xheader.c (HEADER_TEMPLATE): New macro.
(xheader_xhdr_name, xheader_ghdr_name): Use HEADER_TEMPLATE to select
the template for the POSIX extended header name.
* doc/tar.texi: Document the change.
