Support reading pax archives and applying extended attributes
like long names, subsecond mtime resolutions, etc. Default to
writing pax archives for long file and link names.
Support reading gnu archives using the ././@LongLink extended
header for file name and link target.

By default, crypto/x509 assumes that users wish to validate
certificates for ServerAuth. However, due to historical reasons,
COMODO's intermediates don't specify ServerAuth as an allowed key
usage.

Rather NSS and CryptoAPI both allow these SGC OIDs to be equivalent to
ServerAuth.

This is necessary for systems that use select as the pollster,
such as Solaris (supported by gccgo).  It corresponds to the
bool returned by AddFD.  In general it's not clearly defined
what happens when a descriptor used in a select is closed, and
different systems behave differently.  Waking up the select
will cause the right thing to happen: the closed descriptor
will be dropped from the next iteration.
