f3fa78b0b5 - Introduce a notion of `packing list format version'. This allows making
non-backward compatible changes in the format of packing list and handle
  them gracefully;
- fix a longstanding issue with symlinks handling. Instead of recording
  checksum for the file symlink points to, record checksum for the value
  returned by readlink(2). For backward compatibility increase packing list
  format minor version number and provide a fallback to a previous behaviour,
  if package in question was created with older version of pkg_* tools;
