Rewrite libguestfs-supermin-helper in C.
libguestfs-supermin-helper was previously a shell script. Although
we had steadily optimized it, there were a number of intractable
hot spots:
(1) cpio still reads input files in 512 byte chunks; this is *very*
pessimal behaviour, particularly when SELinux is enabled.
(2) the hostfiles globbing was done very inefficiently by the shell,
with the shell rereading the same directory over and over again.
This is a rewrite of this shell script in C. It is approximately
3 times faster without SELinux, and has an even greater speed difference
with SELinux.
The main features are:
(a) It never frees memory, making it simpler. The program is designed
to run and exit in sub-second times, so this is acceptable.
(b) It caches directory reads, making the globbing of host files much
faster (measured this as ~ 4 x speed up).
(c) It doesn't use external cpio, but instead contains code to write
newc format cpio files, which is all that the kernel can read. Unlike
cpio, this code uses large buffers for reads and writes.
(d) Ignores missing or unreadable hostfiles, whereas cpio gave a
warning.
(e) Checks all return values from system calls.
(f) With --verbose flag, it will print messages timing itself.
This passes all tests.

More complete fix for bash regexp quoting bug.
Commit
457fccae1b665347 was not a complete fix, in that it
didn't work properly on RHEL 5 era bash (3.2.x). For example:
file=libntfs-3g.so.74
[[ "$file" =~ ^lib(.*)\.so\.([0-9]+)\. ]] && \
echo "lib${BASH_REMATCH[1]}.so.${BASH_REMATCH[2]}.*"
would on those old shells print:
libntfs-3g.so.7.*
It seems the final \. was being treated as a plain period (ie.
match anything).
The only way to work around this incompatibility is to assign the
patterns to variables and match on those, ie:
p='^lib(.*)\.so\.([0-9]+)\.'
[[ "$file" =~ $p ]] && ...

hivexsh: cd command: fix error handling
The error behaviour of hivex_node_get_child is subtle, so the 'cd'
command wouldn't always report errors correctly. This fixes it.

hivex: allocate_block should update valid block bitmap.
The internal allocate_block() function wasn't updating the bitmap,
so if you revisited a block which you had allocated in the same
session, you could get an EFAULT error.

hivex: Add flags argument to internal get_children() function.
When we later call get_children to visit the intermediate
ri/lf/lh records, we have already deleted the subkey nk-records,
so checking that those nk-records are still valid is not very
helpful.
This commit adds a flag to turn these checks off.

hivex: Don't die on valid registries which have bad declared data lengths.
Some apparently valid registries contain value data length
declarations which exceed the allocated block size for the
value.
Previously the code would return EFAULT for such registries.
However since these appear to be otherwise valid registries,
turn this into a warning and just use the allocated block size
as the data length (in other words, truncate the value).

hivex: Begin implementation of writing to hives.
This implements hivex_node_set_values which is used to
delete the (key, value) pairs at a node and optionally
replace them with a new set.
This also implements hivex_commit which is used to commit
changes to hives back to disk.
