This is what caused the merge of
https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/652
to blow up, since https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/848
landed right before we tried to merge it.
When I was writing that PR I remember having an uncertain feeling
since we were doing a `mkdirat` above, but at the time I thought
we'd have test suite coverage...turns out we didn't.
For backwards compatibility, we need to continue to do a `mkdirat` here of the
parent. However...I can't think of a reason anyone would *want* that behavior.
Hence, let's add a special trick - if the destination name is `.`, we skip
`mkdirat()`. That way rpm-ostree for example can open a dfd for `/etc` and avoid
the `mkdir`.
Fold the subpath tests into `test-basic.sh` since it's not worth a separate
file. Add a test case for checking out a file.
Closes: #854
