5dfab45b42 Removed ar(1)'s support for compressed archives. This change removes
ar(1)'s dependencies on compressor libraries -lz, -lbz2 and -llzma and
fixes building HEAD on some versions of FreeBSD[78]. Option -j and -z
is now accepted but ignored.

Compressed ar(1) archives are not useful without a ld(1) that can read
them. Also, the current ar(1) compression scheme prevents random
access of archive members and needs to be redesigned anyway.

ef636796f6 ANSIfy various tools in usr.bin/.
Most of these tools properly build at WARNS=6, except for their K&R
function declarations. Fix this, so we can bump WARNS as well.

0c099281a3 Add support for option "-M", which is used to operate ar(1) in a
script mode like the MRI(Microtec Research Inc.) "librarian" program.

Originally this option is provided by Binutils ar(1) to ease the
transition for developers who are used to writing "librarian" scripts.

We added this option to BSD ar(1) because:

1. Further improve the compatibility with Binutils ar(1).
2. There are still a few software using this -M option. (at least one
in our ports collection)
