b48b40f1f8 libarchive 2.2.3
* "compression_program" support uses an external program
  * Portability: no longer uses "struct stat" as a primary
    data interchange structure internally
  * Part of the above: refactor archive_entry to separate
    out copy_stat() and stat() functions
  * More complete tests for archive_entry
  * Finish archive_entry_clone()
  * Isolate major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry; remove
    these from everywhere else.
  * Bug fix: properly handle decompression look-ahead at end-of-data
  * Bug fixes to 'ar' support
  * Fix memory leak in ZIP reader
  * Portability: better timegm() emulation in iso9660 reader
  * New write_disk flags to suppress auto dir creation and not
    overwrite newer files (for future cpio front-end)
  * Simplify trailing-'/' fixup when writing tar and pax
  * Test enhancements:  fix various compiler warnings, improve
    portability, add lots of new tests.
  * Documentation: document new functions, first draft of
    libarchive_internals.3

37320c7575 Overhaul of 'ar' support:
* use "AR_GNU" as the format name instead of AR_SVR4 (it's what everyone is going to call it anyway)
  * Simplify numeric parsing to unsigned (none of the numeric values should ever be negative); don't run off end of numeric fields.
  * Finish parsing the common header fields before the next I/O request (which might dump the contents)
  * Be smarter about format guessing and trimming filenames.
  * Most of the magic values are only used in one place, so just inline them.
  * Many more comments.
  * Be smarter about handling damaged entries; return something reasonable.
  * Call it a "filename table" instead of a "string table"
  * Update tests.

Enable selection of 'ar', 'arbsd', and 'argnu' formats by name
(this allows bsdtar to create ar format archives).

The 'ar' writer still needs some work; it should reject
entries that aren't regular files and should probably also
strip leading paths from filenames.
