The 'cpio' command is used solely for copying header files to the temporary directory. However, there is no strong reason to use 'cpio' for this purpose. For example, scripts/package/install-extmod-build uses the 'tar' command to copy files. This commit replaces the use of 'cpio' with 'tar' because 'tar' is already used in this script to generate kheaders_data.tar.xz anyway. Performance-wide, there is no significant difference between 'cpio' and 'tar'.

Please note that the built-in initramfs is created by usr/gen_init_cpio, so it does not rely on the external 'cpio' command at all. Remove 'cpio' from the package build dependencies as well.
