archive/tar: make check for hole detection support more liberal
On most Unix OSes, lseek reports EINVAL when lacking SEEK_HOLE support.
However, there are reports that ENOTTY is reported instead.
Rather than tracking down every possible errno that may be used to
represent "not supported", just treat any non-nil error as meaning
that there is no support. This is the same strategy taken by the
GNU and BSD tar tools.
Fixes #21958
