This creates a archive-z2 repo, pull-locals it to bare-user and then
again back to archive-z2 making sure things fsck along the way.
Then it checks out all repos and makes sure each one reproduces
the same result.
Unfortunately we can't install this as a real test because
it doesn't work in the test-runner because tmpfs doesn't support
user xattrs.

This just does whatever test-basic.sh does, but on a bare-user
repo.
This works standalone, but unfortunately it breaks in
gnome-desktop-testing-runner as /tmp doesn't support
xattrs, so it is not installed atm.

This format is pretty much the same as the "bare" format, except the
file ownership and xattrs is not stored in the actual filesystem object, but
rather on the side in a user xattr. This means two things:
1) An unprivileged user can store such a repo independent of the types
of files in it or their xattrs. And you can later (as root)
reconstruct the real filesystem tree with ownership. Although you
can't do that using hardlink-sharing. This also means ostree
fsck does a full verification.
2) Such a repository can be checked out with user-mode (checkout -U)
as an unprivileged user using hardlinks for space sharing.
Additionally, symlinks are stored as regular files (with the content
being the symlink target) because user xattrs are not supported on
symlinks. We know at checkout time if the file is a symlink because
the original st_mode is stored in the xattr metadata.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741125
Applying xattrs on a symlink during checkout failed since
it was setting the xattrs on the final filename, not the
temporary name.
This made the "checkout union 1" test in test-basic.sh
fail.

When commiting a symlink we do store the uid/gid of the actual
symlink (i.e. not target). However, this was not restored
on non-user-mode checkout as it should.
This commit fixes that, and additionally it ensures xattrs
on symlinks are not set in user-mode checkout.
