support/dependencies/check-host-tar.sh: blacklist tar 1.35+

GNU tar 1.35 changed the behaviour for the devmajor/devminor fields, breaking the download hash validation. For details, see: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2023-07/msg00005.html https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/[email protected]/ 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).
