[Buildroot] [git commit] support/dependencies/check-host-tar.sh: blacklist tar 1.35+

[Peter Korsgaard]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=f1ee7015a48e7820e74dc99c58708a732e14c0aa
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

GNU tar 1.35 changed the behaviour for the devmajor/devminor fields,
breaking the download hash validation.  For details, see:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20231018141155.533944-1-vfazio@gmail.com/

To work around this issue, blacklist tar 1.35+ similar to how we do it for
pre-1.27 versions so Buildroot falls back to building host-tar (which is
currently 1.34).
