disable -T in /usr/bin/ar

FreeBSD ar supports a -T option:

     -T      Use only the first fifteen characters of the archive member name
             or command line file name argument when naming archive members.

Unfortunately this conflicts with llvm-ar's -T:

  [T] - create a thin archive

As our -T does not seem that useful and the functionality provided by -T is
also available as -f I propose disabling -T in /usr/bin/ar. I would like to
determine if there are ports using -T today. Note that GNU ar supports -T as
llvm-ar.
