libarchive: add capability to unpack to mem.buffer
The performance and number of processes for a "depmod -a" with gzipped
modules was abysmal. This patch adds a code path without fork,
benefiting all users of xmalloc_open_zipped_read_close.
"modinfo radeon.ko.gz", a single-file reader, got 30% faster.
"depmod -a", which used to fork over 800 times, got 20% faster.
Heavily based on a patch by Lauri Kasanen <curaga@operamail.com>
