Update libarchive to 3.1.2
Some of new features:
- support for lrzip and grzip compression
- support for writing tar v7 format
- b64encode and uuencode filters
- support for __MACOSX directory in Zip archives
- support for lzop compresion (external utility)
Some of new features:
- New readers: RAR, LHA/LZH, CAB reader, 7-Zip
- New writers: ISO9660, XAR
- Improvements to many formats, especially including ISO9660 and Zip
- Stackable write filters to write, e.g., tar.gz.uu in a single pass
- Exploit seekable input; new "seekable" Zip reader can exploit the Zip
Central Directory when it's available; the old "streamable" Zip reader
is still fully supported for cases where seeking is not possible.

[mixing the two can be quite bad -- they define the same context structures,
but with differing structure members (and sizes)]
Update the hash function support comments, and update config_freebsd.h
to match.

Similar to libexec/, do the same with lib/. Make WARNS=6 the norm and
lower it when needed.
I'm setting WARNS?=0 for secure/. It seems secure/ includes the
Makefile.inc provided by lib/. I'm not going to touch that directory.
Most of the code there is contributed anyway.

Unfortunately, liblzma itself is GPLed, so unlikely to become part of
the FreeBSD base system.
However, the core lzma compression/decompression code is public
domain, so it should be feasible for someone to create a compatible
library without the GPL strings.
read_support_format_raw() allows people to exploit libarchive's
automatic decompression support by simply stubbing out the
archive format handler.
The raw handler is not enabled by support_format_all(), of course.
It bids 1 on any non-empty input and always returns a single
entry named "data" with no properties set.
Since FreeBSD doesn't have liblzma in the base system, the
read side will always fall back to the unxz/unlzma commands for now.
(Which will in turn fail if those commands are not currently
installed.) The write side does not yet have a fallback, so
that will just fail.
from libarchive.googlecode.com: Add a new "archive_read_disk" API
that provides the important service of reading metadata from the
disk. In particular, this will make it possible to remove all
knowledge of extended attributes, ACLs, etc, from clients such
as bsdtar and bsdcpio.
Closely related, this API also provides pluggable uid->uname
and gid->gname lookup and caching services similar to
the uname->uid and gname->gid services provided by archive_write_disk.
Remember this is also required for correct ACL management.
Documentation is still pending...
feedback, but the 2.5 branch is shaping up nicely.)
In addition to many small bug fixes and code improvements:
* Another iteration of versioning; I think I've got it right now.
* Portability: A lot of progress on Windows support (though I'm
not committing all of the Windows support files to FreeBSD CVS)
* Explicit tracking of MBS, WCS, and UTF-8 versions of strings
in archive_entry; the archive_entry routines now correctly return
NULL only when something is unset, setting NULL properly clears
string values. Most charset conversions have been pushed down to
archive_string.
* Better handling of charset conversion failure when writing or
reading UTF-8 headers in pax archives
* archive_entry_linkify() provides multiple strategies for
hardlink matching to suit different format expectations
* More accurate bzip2 format detection
* Joerg Sonnenberger's extensive improvements to mtree support
* Rough support for self-extracting ZIP archives. Not an ideal
approach, but it works for the archives I've tried.
* New "sparsify" option in archive_write_disk converts blocks of nulls
into seeks.
* Better default behavior for the test harness; it now reports
all failures by default instead of coredumping at the first one.
that I've been working on but put off committing until after the
RELENG_7 branch, including:
* New manpages: cpio.5 mtree.5
* New archive_entry_strmode()
* New archive_entry_link_resolver()
* New read support: mtree format
* Internal API change: read format auction only runs once
* Running the auction only once allowed simplifying a lot of bid logic.
* Cpio robustness: search for next header after a sync error
* Support device nodes on ISO9660 images
* Eliminate a lot of unnecessary copies for uncompressed archives
* Corrected handling of new GNU --sparse --posix formats
* Correctly handle a zero-byte write to a compressed archive
* Fixed memory leaks
Many of these improvements were motivated by the upcoming bsdcpio
front-end.
There have also been extensive improvements to the libarchive_test
test harness, which I'll commit separately.

* "compression_program" support uses an external program
* Portability: no longer uses "struct stat" as a primary
data interchange structure internally
* Part of the above: refactor archive_entry to separate
out copy_stat() and stat() functions
* More complete tests for archive_entry
* Finish archive_entry_clone()
* Isolate major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry; remove
these from everywhere else.
* Bug fix: properly handle decompression look-ahead at end-of-data
* Bug fixes to 'ar' support
* Fix memory leak in ZIP reader
* Portability: better timegm() emulation in iso9660 reader
* New write_disk flags to suppress auto dir creation and not
overwrite newer files (for future cpio front-end)
* Simplify trailing-'/' fixup when writing tar and pax
* Test enhancements: fix various compiler warnings, improve
portability, add lots of new tests.
* Documentation: document new functions, first draft of

Thanks to: Many others who sent me various patches and problem reports.
* use "AR_GNU" as the format name instead of AR_SVR4 (it's what everyone is going to call it anyway)
* Simplify numeric parsing to unsigned (none of the numeric values should ever be negative); don't run off end of numeric fields.
* Finish parsing the common header fields before the next I/O request (which might dump the contents)
* Be smarter about format guessing and trimming filenames.
* Most of the magic values are only used in one place, so just inline them.
* Many more comments.
* Be smarter about handling damaged entries; return something reasonable.
* Call it a "filename table" instead of a "string table"
* Update tests.
Enable selection of 'ar', 'arbsd', and 'argnu' formats by name
(this allows bsdtar to create ar format archives).
The 'ar' writer still needs some work; it should reject
entries that aren't regular files and should probably also
strip leading paths from filenames.
for directories. bsdtar used to add this, but that recently got
lost somehow. So now I'm adding it back in libarchive.
The only odd part of doing this in libarchive: Adding a directory to
a tar archive and then reading it back again can yield a different name.
Add a test case to exercise some boundary conditions with
tar filenames and ensure that trailing slashes are added to
dir names only as necessary.
Thanks to: Oliver Lehmann for bringing this regression to my attention.
