tar: reject/prefix_dot_name_foo_reg is arguably valid #9

Description

@woodruffw

prefix_dot_name_foo_reg is currently marked as "reject," but it's arguably fine: pax doesn't forbid . in the ustar prefix field, and ./foo is safely normalizable to foo within the destination dir/extraction root.

(Seems marginal though, I'm curious if you have a different opinion!)
