Title: exclude junk files from tar

The previous generation rake package:tar task would include editor backups and other junk in the tarball, because it created it from a recursive copy of directories in the typical case.

This moves to using the rake FileList class, which gives good default exclusions, and a cleaner interface to explicit exclusion later if required.
