steam.sh is not part of the Steam Runtime.

@kisak-valve, please could you move this to ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux?

Actually, this is not limited to xz only, but also busybox tar. steam.sh is using GNU only tar options.

I guess the right move would be to finally get sh scripts, not bash scripts, with the right helper programs if needed and a conservative usage of commands and options. Should increase by a lot the compatibitly surface.

Nothing extracted yet.
