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.
