pax.1 & tar.1: add a minor clarification about "-s"
...
As a somewhat pedantic clarification, "-s" does not accept backslashes
as delimiters. (While here, also make the macro use of an expression
shared between pax.1 and tar.1 consistent.)

PR/36275: john at iastate dot edu: tar -s modifies symlink targets
...
- This is explained in a comment in pat_rep.c inside mod_name(). I did not
want to change the default behavior, so I added another modifier "s" which
when set, the pattern will not modify the symlink destination.
- While here I fixed another bug that was introduced before by the fix in
PR/35257 where the renaming was happening twice since we called rep_name
twice.
- Finally if we are renaming hard of soft-link targets print the renames for
those too.

Add an option --chroot to tar. Causes it to chroot(".") before doing

an extract. With -h this will cause existing absolute symlinks to be treated
