Subject: Man page documentation on --xattrs-include incorrectly states that pattern is a regular expression

The documentation for the tar option --xattrs-include in the man page states “Specify the include pattern for xattr keys. PATTERN is a POSIX regular expression.” while the info document states “Specify include pattern for xattr keys. PATTERN is a globbing pattern, [...]”. Looking at the source code, the info document seems to be correct and the man page seems to be wrong.
