This applies a normalization complementary to the one added to tarfile.TarFile.extract() in gh-138309.

I think this change should be mentioned in NEWS next to the one to extract(). However, I don't know how amending exiting entries in NEWS is handled.

According to the CI message, the news entry should be added to Misc/NEWS.d/next

I understand this, but in this case I think the best would be to extend the NEWS entry added by gh-138309, and I don't know what is the policy for doing this.

Ping @encukou - @mgorny tells me this PR is needed by meson to add Python 3.15 and abi3t support.

@hugovk can you help clarify how the news entry should be handled here? Should @dnicolodi simply add a new one?

The changelog is a never-ending history of archeological layers.

The NEWS entry added by #138309 is what happened in 3.15.0a1. That's the past.

The NEWS entry for this PR is what will happen in 3.15.0b4. Please add a new NEWS entry for this change.
