Starting down the path of not using libgsystem. The main win here
will be code sharing between ostree/rpm-ostree as well as going down
the path of not using GFile * for local files.
This will be used for a later change to use openat() for the fetching
code. Note that we drop the code to use mmap() - it was an attempt to
avoid keeping a fd open, but we do correctly close anyways.
You create these with something like:
ostree static-delta generate --empty --to=master
These will be automatically used during pull if no previous revision
exists in the target repo.
These work very much like the normal static deltas except they
are named just by the "to" revision. I.e:
deltas/94/f7d2dc23759dd21f9bd01e6705a8fdf98f90cad3e0109ba3f6c091c1a3774d
for a from-scratch to 94f7d2dc23759dd21f9bd01e6705a8fdf98f90cad3e0109ba3f6c091c1a3774d delta.

We don't want to allow MITM attackers to intercept upgrade requests
and provide clients with older OS versions vulnerable to security
flaws.
Only "ostree admin upgrade" gets this behavior for now - whether we
want to do it for "ostree admin switch" is another question.
This has a very basic level of functionality (deltas can be generated,
and applied offline). There is only some stubbed out pull code to
fetch them via HTTP.
But, better to commit this now and improve it from a known starting
point, rather than have it languish in a branch.
This large patch moves the core xattr logic down into libgsystem,
which allows the gs_shutil_cp_a() API to copy them. In turn, this
allows us to just use that API instead of rolling our own recursive
copy here.
As noted in the new comment though, one case that we are explicitly
regressing is where the new /etc removes a parent directory that's
needed by a modified file. This seems unlikely for most vendors now,
but let's do that as a separate bug.

I plan to rename all of these APIs to use the term 'loose', so that it
makes more sense after pack files are introduced. External users
should not use them; instead use _load_variant() or _read_commit().
For the cases where we can't hardlink, use at-relative walking of the
path where possible. We still don't have lsetxattrat, so we also need
to deal with pathnames, but that is now only for symlinks.
Again, the advantages of this are a lot less malloc() of pathnames in
ostree, and much less time spent traversing paths inside the kernel.

Nothing external uses it. We keep ostree_get_xattrs_for_file() public
because it's convenient for external consumers to get xattrs in
exactly the format we desire.

Clean up how we deal with the uncompressed object cache; we now use
openat()/linkat() and such just like we do for the main objects/.
Use linkat() between the objects and the destination, if possible.

It's now isolated almost entirely to ostree-core.c, except
ostree-repo.c needs to know how to create archive-z2 file headers. So
give it a private API for that.
We used to have a version of this, but since I'm trying to use
GBytes more, this became a more common operation, and it's annoying
to type out the whole G_VARIANT_TYPE ("ay") each time, and pass
TRUE for trusted.

If we pass XATTR_REPLACE then the attribute must already exist, which
is not our intent. Passing zero creates the attribute if necessary,
or replaces it when it already exists.

While the first was useful way back in the day when we were importing
Debian bits and /sbin/init was expecting to find /dev/.initctl as a
named pipe, that's no longer an issue with systemd since it uses
dynamic Unix sockets.
Likewise, character and block devices in /dev are now dynamically
created by the devtmpfs from the kernel.
Less complexity and code here if we just support directories, regular
files, and symbolic links.
