out scary messages that imply the data has been ineficiently.

Until now, when packing or unpacking a SquashFS image, files where
created with paranoid permissions (i.e. 0600). The rational behind
this was that otherwise, the tools may inadvertently expose secrets,
e.g. if a root user packs files that that aren't world readable,
such as the /etc/shadows file, but the packed SquashFS image is, we
have accidentally leaked this file to other users that can access
the newly created SquashFS image. The same line of reasoning also
applies when unpacking files.
Unfortunately, this breaks a list of other, more common standard use
cases (e.g. a build server where the an image is built by a deamon
running as user X but then has to be accessed by another deamon
running as Y).
This commit changes to a more standard approach of using permissive
file permissions by default and asking paranoid users to simply use
a paranoid umask.
For tar2sqfs & gensquashfs this simply means chaning the default
permissions in the libsquashfs file implementation.
For rdsquashfs on the other hand there is still the use case where
the unpacked files get the permissions from the [secret] image, so
setting a strict umask is not applicable and changing to permissive
file mode leaks something. For this case a second code path needs to
be added that derives the permissions from the ones in the image.

On the one hand, this commit cleanes the code a bit by splitting
the "scan directory contents" code from the "scan xattrs from
directory contents" and moving the later in a seperate file.
On the other hand, the xattr scanning is now done *after* the fstree
is post processed, which includes sorting it. This way, the xattrs
are always added in a deterministic, reproducible order.

A common use case for mksquashfs is to simply pack a directory and set
a magic option to force all user/group IDs to root.
This commit adds similar options to gensquashfs to maek it better
suited as a direct replacement for packing an input directory.

Instead of having the binary programs in randomly named subdirectories,
move all of them to a "bin" subdirectory, similar to the utility
libraries that have subdirectories within "lib" and give the
subdirectories the propper names (e.g. have gensquashfs source in a
directory *actually* named "gensquashfs").
