libsqfs: add a threshold for extended directory inodes with index
mksquashfs generates extended inodes if a directory contains 256 entries. libsquashfs so far only generated extended inodes if there is no other way to encode it. Mimic the behaviour of mksquashfs by adding a threshold. For this to work, the "sqfs_inode_set_xattr_index" function has to be changed to not immediately try to demote inodes to basic types. The fstree serialization is modified to do that itself if the index is 0xFFFFFFFF and the target is not a directory inode. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
