This change is prompted by the following, admittedly cursed tarball:
```
> curl https://registry.npmjs.org/char-regex/-/char-regex-1.0.2.tgz 2>/dev/null \
| tar -ztv
drw-rw-rw- 0/0 0 2020-02-18 10:50 package
-rw-rw-rw- 0/0 297 2020-02-18 10:50 package/index.d.ts
-rw-rw-rw- 0/0 1920 2020-02-18 10:50 package/index.js
-rw-rw-rw- 0/0 1092 2020-01-31 11:31 package/LICENSE

-rw-rw-rw- 0/0 713 2020-02-18 10:50 package/README.md
```
The minimal reproducer for the issue is the following derivation trying
to work around the uid 0 issue with `dontMakeSourcesWritable = true`:
```nix
{ stdenv, fetchurl }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "test";
src = fetchurl {
sha1 = "d744358226217f981ed58f479b1d6bcc29545dcf";
url = "https://registry.npmjs.org/char-regex/-/char-regex-1.0.2.tgz";
};
dontMakeSourcesWritable = true;
installPhase = ''
cp -R . $out
'';
}
```
This currently fails in the following way:
```
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/pc3jbydl0xcc8nrndf5xkf7hdhpgpb41-test.drv

```
As you can see, the issue is that `$sourceRoot` isn't executable,
prohibiting the call to `cd`. This can be fixed by running
`chmod +x "${sourceRoot}"` before `cd` regardless of
`dontMakeSourcesWritable` in `unpackPhase` since if `chmod` fails, `cd`
would fail as well and we are out of options.
Verified that the workaround works locally.
Another thing to investigate is investigating if we should use
`--no-same-owner` for `tar` and if it helps in this case as well.

This reverts commit 848091a52b, reversing
changes made to ab0e692ac7.
It caused issues with elfutils tests,
probably through over-stripping of glibc parts.
Among other things fixes build failure on linux-headers-5.17:
../src/basic/meson.build:389:8: ERROR: Problem encountered: found unknown filesystem(s) defined in kernel headers:
