Initial, incomplete, support for extended attributes. Extended
attributes are implemented fairly naively, using a second table
in the file database using the primary file table's id as a
foreign key. The ON DELETE CASCADE behavior requires sqlite 3.6.19
or later with foreign key and trigger support compiled in.
To reduce round-trips, the client does not check for existing
attributes, but rather, sends three distinct set messages;
OP_SET_XATTR, OP_CREATE_XATTR, OP_REPLACE_XATTR. A SET message
always succeeds, a CREATE fails if the attribute already
exists, and a REPLACE fails if the attribute does not already
exist.
The /* flags */ feature of makewrappers is used to correct
path names appropriately, so all functions are already working
with complete paths, and can always use functions that work
on links; if they were supposed to dereference, the path
fixup code got that.
The xattr support is enabled, for now, conditional on
whether getfattr --help succeeds.
Not yet implemented: Translation for system.posix_acl_access,
which is used by "cp -a" (or "cp --preserve-all") on some
systems to try to copy modes.
