* tests/sparse06.at: Skip the test if genfile is unable to create
sparse files.
* tests/sptrcreat.at: Likewise.
* tests/sptrdiff00.at: Likewise.
* tests/sptrdiff01.at: Likewise.
* tests/sparse06.at: Don't use timeout: depending on the filesystem
mounted, current LA and lots of other factors, creation of archive can
take much more time than the expected 2 seconds.
* paxutils: Update.
* src/unlink.c (flush_deferred_unlinks): OpenSolaris sets EEXIST
instead of ENOTEMPTY if trying to remove a non-empty directory.
* tests/numeric.at: Avoid using awk -v: some older awks don't support
that option. Also fix environment variable usage.
* tests/onetop05.at: Skip test if unable to set initial directory
mode bits.
* tests/sparse06.at: Use --quiet option.
Based on patch by Pavel Raiskup.
Use SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA feature of lseek on systems that support
it. This can make archiving of sparse files much faster.
Implement the --hole-detection option to allow users to select
hole-detection method.
* src/common.h (hole_detection_method): New enum.
(hole_detection): New global.
* src/sparse.c (sparse_scan_file_wholesparse): New function as a
method for detecting sparse files without any data.
(sparse_scan_file_raw): Rename from sparse_scan_file; with edits.
(sparse_scan_file_seek): New function.
(sparse_scan_file): Reimplement function.
* src/tar.c: New option --hole-detection
* tests/checkseekhole.c: New file.
