Tarball images were created without SELinux context information,
causing loss of security labels during extraction while working with
features like:ostree. This breaks SELinux policy enforcement and requires
relabeling after deployment, adding runtime overhead.

Append "--selinux" to IMAGE_CMD_TAR to include SELinux file contexts
when generating tarball images. This ensures security labels are
preserved across image creation and deployment.
