filename table whose size is less than 65536 bytes.
The original intention was to not consume the filename table, so the
client will have a chance to look at it. To achieve that, the library
call decompressor->read_ahead to read(look ahead) but do not call
decompressor->consume to consume the data, thus a limit was raised
since read_ahead call can only look ahead at most BUFFER_SIZE(65536)
bytes at the moment, and you can not "look any further" before you
consume what you already "saw".
This commit will turn GNU/SVR4 filename table into "archive format
data", i.e., filename table will be consumed by libarchive, so the
65536-bytes limit will be gone, but client can no longer have access
to the content of filename table.
'ar' support test suite is changed accordingly. BSD ar(1) is not
affected by this change since it doesn't look at the filename table.

that I've been working on but put off committing until after the
RELENG_7 branch, including:
* New manpages: cpio.5 mtree.5
* New archive_entry_strmode()
* New archive_entry_link_resolver()
* New read support: mtree format
* Internal API change: read format auction only runs once
* Running the auction only once allowed simplifying a lot of bid logic.
* Cpio robustness: search for next header after a sync error
* Support device nodes on ISO9660 images
* Eliminate a lot of unnecessary copies for uncompressed archives
* Corrected handling of new GNU --sparse --posix formats
* Correctly handle a zero-byte write to a compressed archive
* Fixed memory leaks
Many of these improvements were motivated by the upcoming bsdcpio
front-end.
There have also been extensive improvements to the libarchive_test
test harness, which I'll commit separately.
* "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
MFC after: 14 days
Thanks to: Joerg Sonnenberger (compression_program)
Thanks to: Kai Wang (ar)
Thanks to: Colin Percival (many small fixes)
Thanks to: Many others who sent me various patches and problem reports.
* 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.
