5497f08e5e hpkg attribute tags: use 7 bits for attribute ID
ATM the 6 bits suffice, but there isn't that much headroom.

47039b852e Package/repository file format: Add a minor version header field
* Add minor_version to hpkg_header and hpkg_repo_header and make
  heap_compression uint16.
* If the minor version of a package/repository file is greater than the
  current one unknown attributes are ignored without error. This allows
  introducing new harmless attributes without making the resulting files
  unreadable for older package kit versions.

521545f7fb Add padding in HPKG/HPKR headers
... so that the different alignment on 32 and 64 bit machines doesn't
change the layout.

1f633814fa hpkg format: compress the whole heap
Instead of handling compression for individual file/attribute data we
do now compress the whole heap where they are stored. This
significantly improves compression ratios. We still divide the
uncompressed data into 64 KiB chunks and use a chunk offset array for
the compressed chunks to allow for quick random access without too much
overhead. The tradeoff is a limited possible compression ratio -- i.e.
we won't be as good as tar.gz (though surprisingly with my test
archives we did better than zip).

The other package file sections (package attributes and TOC) are no
longer compressed individually. Their uncompressed data are simply
pushed onto the heap where the usual compression strategy applies. To
simplify things the repository format has been changed in the same
manner although it doesn't otherwise use the heap, since it only stores
meta data.

Due to the data compression having been exposed in public and private
API, this change touches a lot of package kit using code, including
packagefs and the boot loader packagefs support. The latter two haven't
been tested yet. Moreover packagefs needs a new kind of cache so we
avoid re-reading the same heap chunk for two different data items it
contains.

0ee1651856 Rename BBlockBufferCache and friends to *Pool*
Also move BBlockBufferPoolNoLock into BHPKG namespace with the other
classes. Not sure why it wasn't there before.

171fd58c4b package kit: some fixes for multi-version support
* Use enums/constants/functions instead of preprocessor macros.
* Missing include in PackageInfoAttributeValue.h.
* PackageReaderImpl::Init(): Check version before header size and
  return B_MISMATCHED_VALUES instead of B_BAD_DATA, if the version
  doesn't match. This allows callers to determine the condition and
  try a reader for a different version. A more flexible interface for
  that case would be nice, but since we want to support the old package
  version only temporarily, the current solution should be good enough.

34d56c1bf5 * implemented repository reader and fixed some bugs in writer that
have been exposed during testing of reader

33bc4425be Largish adjustments to PackagerReaderImpl and package attribute
handling:
* package attributes are now compatible with the low level attribute
  handling of other HPKG attributes (such that 'package dump' now shows 
  package attributes, too)
* dropped type names from hpkg format, the attributes were identified
  by IDs already and this simplifies the code considerably. Type names
  are now handled in BLowLevelPackageHandler only.
* instead of rolling their own mechanism, high-level package attributes 
  handling is now implemented via a corresonding set of 
  AttributeHandler-subclasses
* adjusted package writer to only write package attributes that are
  needed (empty ones are left out)
