If we want full, byte-for byte, verification of fragments during
de-duplication we need to check back with the blocks already written
to disk, or with the ones that are in flight.
The previous, extremely hacky approach simply locked up the thread
pool and investigated the queues. For the new approach, we treat the
thread pool as completely opaque and don't try to touch it.
This commit modifies the block processor to keep duplicate copies of
each submitted fragment block around, that are cleaned up once the
block is dequeued and written to disk. So instead of touching the
thread pool, we can simply investigate the in-fligth-block list and
the current block, before resorting to reading back fragment blocks
from the file.

Simply count the number of blocks we hand out (malloc'ed or recycled)
and decrease the counter when we put blocks back for recycling.
The sync() part becomes a little more complicated, because we can get
stuck with a backlog of 1 or 2 because we have a fragment or current
block buffer in use. We also need to accout for this when creating the
processor, because we need to be able to request at least 2 blocks
without stalling.

A cleaner separation between common code, frontend code and backend
code is made.
The "is this byte blob zero" function is moved out to libutil (with
test case and everything) with a more optimized implementation.

This function creates a block processor from a structure describing it.
A stub implementation for the old sqfs_block_processor_create is added
that simply sets up such a struct and forwards the call.
The current version of the description struct only contains the exact
same parameters and a size field at the beginning.
This approach is supposed to make extending the range of parameters
easier without breaking ABI compatibillity.
Currently already planned are:
- Adding a sqfs_file_t pointer to double-check when deduplicating
fragments.
- When the scanning code reaches a usable state, add the abillity
to pass scanned fragment data, so the block processor can be used
for appending to an existing image.

Keeping a list of fragments stored away in the current fragment block
and consolidating them in the thread pool takes them out of circulation.
If we have a lot of tiny fragments, this can lead to a situation where
all the limit is reached, but we cannot do anything, because we are
waiting for a block to complete, but they are all attached to the
current fragment block and the queue is empty.

This commit fixes a bug where the block processor state machine would
not add the "last block" flag if there is only one not entirely filled
block and the "don't fragment" flag is set. If the flag isn't set, the
inode start block position is not updated and points to the beginning
of the image instead.

- the "bytes submitted" can be moved over to the block processor
- the number of blocks submitted are already there (implcitily, by
adding the data block count to the fragment block count)
- actual data bytes written can be computed from the super block
- the remaining block count can be changed to simple counter that
can be obtained through a function.

- Move the inode modifications out of do_block. The inode may be
reallocated in parallel by the process_completed_block function, so
it is not safe to store the fragment location in the do_block
function which is used from the worker threads.
- Move the accounting of fragment blocks to the
process_completed_block function.

Instead of [potentially] allocating a new fragment block, take an
existing fragment and promote it to the fragmenet block. This saves
as a potential block allocation and a memcpy of the initial data.
Also it *definitely* removes block allocation from the backend path
of the block processor.

Instead of merging fragments into the fragment block inside the
process_completed_fragment function, store a linked list of fragments
in the fragment block and do the actual merging (several memcpy calls
totaling of up to 1M of data in worst case) in the worker thread
instead of the locked, serial path.

Instead of freeing/allocating blocks all the time in the locked,
serial path, use a free list to "recycle" blocks. Once a block is
no longer used, throw it onto the free list. If a new block is,
needed try to get one from the free list before calling malloc.
After a few iterations, the block processor should stop allocating
new blocks and only re-use the ones it already has.

In the block processor, the payload area is only accessed up to
the indicated size. Even the part that is accessed is initialized
by copying data into the block before increasing the size, so there
is no real point in zero-initializing hundres of kilobytes if not
megabytes of payload area, especially since this is done in the
locked, serial path of the block processor.

If a file consisting of multiple blocks is produced, the last block is
short and the don't fragment flag is set, the last block flag has to
be set on the block when we flush it, so the processing pipeline does
it's job correctly.

On Linux, checking for > 0 worked because pthread_t is internally an
integer type. On other platforms (*caugh* Mac OS X *caugh*), it is
typedefed to an opaque pointer, causing a warning if used in an
integer relational comparison.
The intended use is to allow the generic cleanup function to be used
in the error path of the block processor creation function, while
preventing pthread_join being called on threads that haven't been
created at all. Since they are calloc'ed to 0, testing for non-zero
values should suffice in both cases.

Instead of having seperate counters for blocks, dir index bytes
and having to fiddle out the link target size, simply use a single
value that stores the number of payload bytes used.
A seperate "payload bytes available" is used for dynamically
growing inodes during processing.

This commit removes the allocation helpers and string table functions
out of libsquashfs back into a "libutil.a". The problem of libsquashfs
exporting stuff that it shouldn't is resolved by retaining the internal
attributes and directly adding the source to libsquashfs instead of
trying to somehow link against libutil.la.
