[issue24465] Make tarfile have deterministic sorting

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

This would go beyond what the tar command itself does.  I'm not sure we want to do that, as we are pretty much modeling our behavior on tar.  However, that doesn't automatically mean we can't do it.   We'll see what other people think.  Personally I'm -0.

I've changed the issue title since your proposed patch is to tarfile, not shutil.
