When extracting tar archive such as
cvd-host_package.tar.gz, it tries to preserve owning uid/gid written in tar archive during extraction if it can dochown, such as root. This matters whenpodcvdtries to fetchcvd-host_package.tar.gzand extract it while executingpodcvd create,podcvd load, orpodcvd fetch, as the executor cannot get write permission of them.With this change, we can try to apply cvd E2E tests on podcvd afterwards as
podcvd fetchandpodcvd createcan be working as intended.Context: b/491256959
