Add tar as alternative for rsync (#229)

Drew DeVault wrote a [blog post](https://drewdevault.com/2026/03/28/2026-03-28-rsync-without-rsync.html) about using tar in place of rsync, and he linked to this repo, so I thought it'd be fun and useful to link to his explanation in our alternatives column.
