- 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.

In the zstd compressor, the compression level from the configuration
structure wasn't used at all. Instead, the zstd compressor was told
to use level 0 and compressor options with that parameter were written
to disk.
This commit makes sure the level parameter is propperly initialized.

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.

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.

With `perf record`/`perf report` I saw that 30% of the time was spent in
`sqfs_frag_table_find_tail_end` with tar2sqfs for a tarball containing
the Gentoo ebuild repository (many thousands of small files).
The reason was the bucketing hash table in frag_table.c: too many
elements in too few buckets meant lots of walking over the linked lists.
This patch replaces that hash table with the hash table implementation
from Mesa. Its implementation is more complex (is is an open-addressing,
linear-reprobing) hash table, but it is much better suited for the task.
On my 4c/8t Skylake, the time to run tar2sqfs drops from 7.5s to less
than 3s. CPU usage increases from ~207% to ~356%, presumably indicating
an increase in available parallelism due to the removal of the hash
table as a bottleneck. The `perf report` profile with this patch shows
that the time spent in `sqfs_frag_table_find_tail_end` has dropped from
~30% to 0.01%.

I imported only the bits of the hash table implementation that were
needed for frag_table.c. Among the changes I made after importing are
- removed usage of ralloc, Mesa's recursive memory allocator
- Replaced ralloc -> malloc
ralloc_free -> free
rzalloc_array -> calloc
- Removed mem_ctx parameters
- Added free()s to the appropriate places (valgrind confirms there
are no leaks)
- removed _mesa_-prefix from function names

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.

Make sure the function has a way of telling the caller *why* it failed.
This way, the function can convey whether it had an internal error, an
allocation failure, whether the arguments are totaly nonsensical, or
simply that the compressor *or specific configuration* is not supported.

Instead of creating everything in the "create" function, cleanup and
create/initialize stuff in a "load" function. This allows the xattr
reader to be reset/re-used and adds the benefit of not having to
lug around references to the super block, compressor and file (altough
the later two are hidden inside the meta reader).

Instead of having seperate counters for blocks, dir index bytes

A seperate "payload bytes available" is used for dynamically

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.
