The --renumber-inodes option renumbers the inodes starting from 1,
so that the sequence of inodes is always stable. This helps with
reproducibility.

The --ignore-devno option is used to set device numbers to (0, 0).
This can be useful in verifying whether a CPIO archive is reproducible.

gcc 11.2.1 complains that the tar header checksum might overflow
the checksum field. It won't and using an unsigned int for the
calculation seems to convince the compiler too.

Unfortunately, the bug is not reliably causing a segfault,
the behavior depends on what's in memory before the buffer.

On certain corrupt gzip files, huft_build will set the error bit on
the result pointer. If afterwards abort_unzip is called huft_free
might run into a segmentation fault or an invalid pointer to
free(p).
In order to mitigate this, we check in huft_free if the error bit
is set and clear it before the linked list is freed.

busybox will remove directory symlinks, which is at
odds with common layouts that have some of
bin/lib/lib32/lib64 symlinked.
this adds a exludelist for critcal and often symlinked
directories.

Converted a few 16-bit variables and small arrays to 32-bit.
Stopped pulling desc->FOO members into temporary local variables
in gen_bitlen(): on register-starved arches, this is a loss,
temporaries go into stack slots.
Sprinkled a few "const" on pointer arguments.

With this change, GNU gzip -n and BusyBox gzip now produce identical output
assuming that CONFIG_GZIP_FAST=2.
