 (2) pclose returns failure (because 'tar' subprocess failed)

 (3) We try to cancel the transfer by calling cancel_receive.

Step (3) fails because the transfer (as far as the library is
concerned) has succeeded, so causing a hang.

The more fundamental reason why we see steps (1) and (2) is that
'tar' does NOT fail immediately if there is a write error.  Instead
it continues reading and discarding the input until the end of the
input before giving "Error exit delayed from previous errors".
IMHO this is a bug with tar, since an ENOSPC write error should
be fatal for tar.

Secondly we display this rounded up to the next whole percent (ie. using
ceil), which is also what 'df' does.

Thirdly we change the regression test so it tests this.

Note that even with these changes you are not guaranteed to get precisely
the same figures from inside and outside the guest, as it depends on

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.
