use tar archive as default package backend

it saves more than 200 kb on minimal setup for AG241 target.
Normally reflashing or complete updates are recommended.
Partial updates via ipkg are not supported right now.
(we have a read-only root filesystem without any writable
partition for any data outside /etc)
If someone likes ipkg, it still can be selected and used.
