Subject: [PATCH] vim-patch:9.2.0355: runtime(tar): missing path traversal
 checks in tar#Extract() (#39095)

Problem:  runtime(tar): missing path traversal checks in tar#Extract()
Solution: Add check for leading slash, however gnu tar should already
          detect this (q1uf3ng)

tar#Extract() did not check for ../ sequences or absolute paths,
unlike zip#Extract() which was patched in recent commits. Add the
same checks: ../ (relative traversal), leading slash (Unix), drive
letter and UNC/leading slash (Windows).

closes: vim/vim#19981
