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.

This patch adds a deep-copy callback to sqfs_object_t and removes the
copying mechanism from sqfs_compressor_t. This is also interesting for
other types.

Make every dynamically allocated, opaque data structure inherit from
a common sqfs_object_t structure with common entry points (e.g. destroy).
This removes tons of public API functions and replaces them with a
simple sqfs_destroy instead. If semantics of the (until now implicit)
object system need to be extended, it can be much more conveniantely
done this way.

This commit moves the generic unix implementation into a "unix"
subdirectory and adds a "win32" subdirectory with a winapi based
implementation.
