gh-149486: tarfile.data_filter: validate written link target (GH-149487)
The data filter rewrote linknames with normpath() but ran the
containment check against the un-normalised value, and computed a
symlink's directory before stripping trailing slashes. Both let a
crafted archive create links pointing outside the destination. Also
reject link members that resolve to the destination directory itself,
which could otherwise replace it with a symlink and redirect all
subsequent members.
