Guillem Jover 38e75bb3c6 CPack/Deb: Remove paxr as a supported tar format for a .deb
The only format supported from the ones available within cpack is
gnutar, which supports large numbers encoded in base-256, and long
filenames and linknames. PAX is not and has never been a supported
format by dpkg.

cpack-deb-tar-format
--------------------
* The :module:`CPack` module no longer defaults to the ``paxr`` value in the
:variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_ARCHIVE_TYPE` variable, because ``dpkg`` has
never supported the PAX tar format. The ``paxr`` value will be mapped
to ``gnutar`` and a deprecation message emitted.
