Fix helper docker image tar output

What does this MR do?

Returns to using docker export to save the tar versions of the helper docker container.

Why was this MR needed?

#26618 highlighted a case where the method of exporting tar matters if the docker filesystem driver is aufs.

What's the best way to test this MR?

make runner-and-helper-docker-host - test the resulting images.

Testing the images with a aufs filesystem may prove more difficult. I had to boot a Ubuntu image on GCP, and change the docker filesystem to aufs to test.

What are the relevant issue numbers?

Closes #26618
