--one-top-level clarifications
Bring back documentation for --one-top-level absolute file names, and clarify its behavior. Allow --one-top-level only with -x, -d, -t. * src/misc.c (chdir_do): Do not pass -1 to openat. Simplify now that open_searchdir_how no longer has RESOLVE_BENEATH when one_top_level_dir is absolute. Fix errno confusion in messages. * src/tar.c (decode_options): Allow --one-top-level only with -x, -d, and -t. Do not use RESOLVE_BENEATH if --one-top-level=/foo is used; this simplifies chdir_do.
