dist: archive HEAD instead of HEAD^{tree}
Update `git archive` tree-ish argument from `HEAD^{tree}` to `HEAD`. By using a commit (rather than tree) reference, the commit hash will be stored as an extended pax header, extractable git `git get-tar-commit-id`. The intended use-case for this change is building `git` from the output of `make dist` - in combination with the ability to specify a fallback `GIT_BUILT_FROM_COMMIT`, a user can extract the commit ID used to build the archive and set it as `GIT_BUILT_FROM_COMMIT`. The result is fully-populated information for the commit hash in `git version --build-options`. Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>
