[3.18] community/dar: upgrade to 2.7.11

Simon Rupf requested to merge elrido/aports:3.18-dar-2.7.11 into 3.18-stable

This backport is warranted as we distribute 2.7.9 in alpine 3.18 and it contains a bug preventing archive restoration under certain conditions:

as reported on dar-support mailing-list, releases 2.7.9 to 2.7.11 suffer from a bug that avoids one to restore files that have been saved with binary delta (aka binary patch) based on a previous version also saved as a binary delta.

In other words, you can rely on binary delta for differential backup (= using a full backup as reference). But if the reference backup is an incremental or differential backup using binary delta, dar may fail to restore some files in their latest state.
