archive/tar: skip TestSparseFiles on Plan 9

CL 60871 added TestSparseFiles. This test is succeeding on Plan 9 when executed on the ramfs file system, but is failing when executed on the Fossil file system. This may be due to an issue in the handling of sparse files in the Fossil file system on Plan 9 that should be investigated. Updates #21977.
