patch release to fix xattr comparison (#141). Thanks @cyphar

Big focus on getting xattr behavior fixed for both the Walk/Compare, but also Update().

While working on Update(), paired the behavior more like the bsd-mtree. Including only updating if the value is different.

This release marks better testing coverage of the cli and ensuring regressions are caught earlier. Also now the build allows for binaries on a much wider variety of platforms!

• The ./test/cli/ directory is presently a simple collection of shell scripts that test expected behavior. Any new additions need just mimic the setup of prior scripts.
• The vis/unvis code had originally just been carried over from the original mtree(8) version. This was nice to ensure conformance, but since it was in C this had implications on the compiler. Part of that meant that a linux/amd64 host could not easily cross-compile the binaries needed for say openbsd, etc. Now these functions have been re-written in pure Go. Further there is a make build.arches target to produce binaries for a number of platforms.

This release includes support for xattrs keywords, as well as compatibility with tar archives in addition to on disk files.
