The previous tar support lacked the ability to track changes between tarball deploys. Critically, it also failed to be handled correctly when there was _also_ a git deployment done on the app, resulting in odd deployment states depending on the angles of the moon and the sun in the sky.
Rather than try to "fix" this through some hokey mechanism, importing the tar file contents into the git repository is preferred, as then the user can refer to the repository for commit history.
Additionally, we add support for non-tar files (tar.gz and zip), enabling deployments from systems that do not create tar files, such as Github (their tarball url is a tar.gz file).
Finally, this deprecates the tar plugin, and sets it to be removed in the next minor release (in addition to the tags plugin).

The new command superscedes the previous tags plugin, and integrates docker image deployment with the general build process.
While `docker image load` is not supported, this otherwise completely handles all previous workflows supported by the `tags:deploy` command, while doing so in a much easier to use interface.
Closes#4296
Git worktrees do not include the full .git directory - only a pointer to the actual directory - when keep-git-dir is set to true, which is incorrect for built containers. This change special-cases that combination, allowing folks on newer git installs to actually keep the .git directory during the build process.
Closes#4415
The previous lever for manipulating this was the DOKKU_IMAGE environment variable. While this is all well and good, it only works for CNB and is yet another `DOKKU_*` environment variable that need not exist.
While this does not add support for manipulating the CNB stack just yet, the groundwork is set for the future.
Closes#4306
This change adds a new builder - builder-cnb - via the 'DOKKU_CNB_EXPERIMENTAL' environment variable. While support for customizing pack builds is not currently implemented and there may be other missing functionality, this initial implementation allows folks to start playing with CNB.
Future releases of Dokku will provide tighter CNB integration and eventually switch to CNB for default building, as well as allow users to better select builders needed for their applications.
All new code for CNB support should be considered experimental and subject to change as the support evolves over time.
Previous versions extracted the values as strings, prefixing the values with `/bin/sh -c '$CMD'` unnecessarily. This caused issues where we would incorrectly overrride these values when an app had a predeploy script.
Closes#3143
These are usually not optional and actually explain what a user is interested in. As we don't have documentation partials, duplication isn't in favor of the project maintainer's benefit.
Closes#3927
While the latest packages may continue to work on other releases, we will no longer officially support these releases, nor will we distribute packages.
It may be desirable to keep the contents of the git directory for the build process. Certain build tools can extract extra information from the .git directory, and some workflows may require that the shipped artifact has the entire source code available locally for later usage.
This is useful in contexts where the repository directory may be created and interacted with via git-http-backend or other methods of updating a repository.
