pack: Factorize base tar options.

* guix/docker.scm (%tar-determinism-options): Move to a new module and rename
to `tar-base-options'.  Adjust references accordingly.
* guix/build/pack.scm: New file.
* Makefile.am (MODULES): Register it.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (self-contained-tarball/builder): Use it.
