#18373: create variant +with_default_names

Comment(by mww@…):
do we have a standardized name for this kind of variant?
"with_default_names" is rather confusing, it should rather be named
"no_gnu_names" or "with_conflicting_names" or "gnu_style"; for someone who
has no idea of what a variant does "with_default_names" sounds much too
optimistic imho... especially since using this variant can mess up the
build process of other ports (not for gnutar as tar on OS X is gnutar, but
for coreutils);
