[OE-core] [PATCH 0/3] preserve xattrs in images

[Patrick Ohly]

Both Smack and IMA/EVM rely on xattrs in the rootfs. This works for
.ext3/.ext4 images, but not for .jffs2 and .tar.bz2. These changes
allow optionally building also such images with xattrs without
changing the default (which still is to ignore xattrs in .jffs2 and
.tar.bz2).

The default does not get changed because supporting xattrs causes a
certain overhead (need to build GNU tar, additional system calls when
creating the images).

See https://github.com/01org/meta-intel-iot-security/pull/34 for code using
these changes.

The following changes since commit 5094354a2811825e6d60963f03959daa349cab23:
