Subject: gh-101334: Don't force USTAR format in test_tarfile. (GH-101572)
X-Git-Tag: v3.12.0a5~17

gh-101334: Don't force USTAR format in test_tarfile. (GH-101572)

That causes the test to fail when run using a high UID as that ancient format
cannot represent it. The current default (PAX) and the old default (GNU) both
support high UIDs.
