feat: support AUFS -> OverlayFS whiteout conversion for squashfs

Add an option, `OptConvertWhiteout`, for `squashfsConverter`, that
when set true will convert AUFS whiteout files in the incoming tar, to
OverlayFS whiteouts in the outgoing squashfs.

A `.wh.file` marker indicating a whiteout of `file` is replaced by
`file` as a 0:0 character device.

A `dir/.wh..wh..opq` marker indicating an opaque directory is replaced
with the `trusted.overlay.opaque="y"` xattr on `dir`.

A two-pass approach is required. AUFS directory opaque markers are not
required to be adjacent to the directory to which they apply, in the
tar stream. As `tar2sqfs` and `sqfstar` do not support tar files with
two instances of the same dir/file, we cannot append an additional tar
entry if we come across an opaque marker distant from the target
directory entry.

Fixes sylabs#25
