Make the json.tar.xz release archive configure standalone

The json.tar.xz rule packed neither src/modules nor tests, but the
top-level CMakeLists.txt needs src/modules for
NLOHMANN_JSON_BUILD_MODULES=ON and defaulted JSON_BuildTests to ON for
a main project. A standalone configure of the extracted archive failed
at add_subdirectory(tests), and enabling the module failed at
add_subdirectory(src/modules).

Add src/modules to the archive, and default JSON_BuildTests to ON only
if tests/CMakeLists.txt exists, so a repository checkout still builds
the tests by default while the archive configures out of the box. Use
GNU tar via a TAR variable (gtar if present, else tar), the same way
SED is found, instead of hard-coding gtar. The library, its public API,
and its ABI are unchanged.

### `JSON_BuildTests`
Build the unit tests when [`BUILD_TESTING`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/enable_testing.html) is enabled. This option is `ON` by default if the library's CMake project is the top project. That is, when integrating the library as described above, the test suite is not built unless explicitly switched on with this option.
