stdenv: disregard xz exit status in order to fix subtle decompression issues
There is a subtle bug with unpacking `tar.xz` archives which seems to happen only on some setups, and sometimes not in a reproducible manner (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/278130, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/20950). On the last occurrence, it could be tracked down to `xz` failing from a `SIGPIPE`, which can happen when it's connected to `tar` through a pipe and `tar` exits earlier (see e.g. https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/%5Bpatch%5D-tar-issuing-a-sigpipe-in-installpkg-4175637923/ or https://bugs.gentoo.org/573642#c5).
Since `tar` should be able by itself to detect whether the archive is complete, I suggest to disregard the exit code from the `xz` invocation, done in this PR.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/278130 (script tested here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/286579)
Probably also fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/20950 (issue not reproduced here, feedback therefore welcome)
