Uwe Hermann 88f2f6402a This is a major update to the lar archiver. It simplifies the build process and
is a base change to make the whole linuxbios.rom a lar file.

* fix a whole lot of lar bugs (that never showed up in production yet)
* add proper option parsing to lar
* add verbose option
* add option to automatically pad lar archive to a certain size
* add proper file handling (specifying a directory will now pack all files
  in that directory into the lar, instead of a 4k dummy file)
* catch lots of user errors, less implicit assumptions
* merge all header files into lib.h (except lar.h which is needed by other
  programs using the lar format). lib.h is still very small.
* print errors to stderr
* (slipped in) copy linuxbios.rom to bios.bin for qemu ;-)
* adapt arch/x86/Makefile to use the new features.
* set version to 0.9
* lots of security bugs fixed (thanks to Uwe!)
* catch low memory conditions in strdup
