Use tar.bzl's pinned host binary during repository evaluation. Discover the data archive instead of assuming XZ compression, so Zstandard debs work without host tar or zstd. Remove directory exclusions that suppress file discovery with BSD tar, and report inspection/extraction failures.

Use tar.bzl's pinned host bsdtar for repository-time Debian archive
inspection and extraction. Repository rules run before toolchain
resolution, so select the same platform-specific binary through the
existing toolchain repositories.
Discover data.tar's compression format instead of assuming data.tar.xz.
This handles Zstandard packages without requiring host tar or zstd.
Remove directory exclusions that suppress file discovery with BSD tar,
and fail explicitly when inspection or extraction fails.
