For many cases of commit, we can actually optimize things by simply "adopting"
the object rather than writing a new copy. For example, in rpm-ostree package
layering.
We can only make that optimization though if we take ownership of the file. This
commit hence adds an API where a caller tells us to do so. For now, that just
means we `unlink()` the files/dirs as we go, but we can now later add the
"adopt" optimization.

This was already supported by the commit modifier API, just needed to
expose it. This will also be used to test the libarchive API in a future
test.
