Fixed pkg_create to eliminate the limits on the size of the PLIST.

Formerly, there were limits on both the number of files (hard-coded into
the program) and the number of characters (because of the ARG_MAX limit
in exec(2)).  In this new version, the filenames are passed to tar through
a pipe, using tar's "-T" option, rather than on the command line.
