core: Remove old "archive" mode
We'll always have "bare" mode for keeping files-as-hardlinks as root. But "archive" was my second attempt at a format for non-root file storage, used by the gnome-ostree buildsystem which runs as non-root. It was really handy to have a "tar" like mode where I can create tarballs as a user, that contain files owned by root for example. The "archive" mode stored content files as two pieces in the filesystem; ".file" contained metadata, and ".filecontent" was the actual content, uncompressed. The nice thing about this was that to check out a tree as non-root, you could just hardlink into the repo. However, archive was fairly bad for serving via HTTP; it required *two* HTTP requests per content object, greatly magnifing the already inefficient fetch process. So "archive-z2" was introduced. To allow gnome-ostree to still check out trees as a user, the "uncompressed-object-cache" was introduced, and that's how things have been working for a while. So we should just be able to kill this code. Specifically note just how much better the stage_object() function became. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706057
