Add --mtime flag to build_tar.py. Use this feature for pkg_tar.

This effectively reverts part of https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/7276.
archive.py no longer makes TAR files with the mtime 2000-01-01.
Now, only tar files made with the pkg_tar() rule will get that mtime value by default.
This means other users of archive.py (e.g. rules_docker) will not experience a sudden change in tar content when updating Bazel.

@beasleyr-vmw: Can you test this in your process to see that it still solves issue 1299 for you?

Closes #7482.
