   tar: don’t evict from fdbase_cache if open fails
   * src/misc.c (fdbase_opendir): Fix the recent fix
   d1df7f403de05bfbe11527a5b570469fb1011fda,
   which introduced bugs causing us to pass BADFD to openat.
   Don’t close and evict an existing cache resident merely because
   the open of a subdirectory fails.
   Refactor this too-tricky code to add some clarity.

   tar: refactor fdbase_opendir
   * src/misc.c (fdbase_opendir): Rename locals to more clearly
   distinguish new subdirectory name from old.
   Cache c->subdir and c->subdirlen to help the compiler warn
   us statically if we mess up.
   Move the large part of an if that ends in a break to be
   out of the loop, to make things a bit clearer and reduce indentation.
   Distinguish whether the new name is a subdirectory of the old,
   from whether the new name extends the old; they are not the same
   thing as the new and old names can have different chdir_fd values.
   If the new name extends the old, don’t overwrite the old name;
   just store into the old name’s extension.
   Although these changes improve performance with long names,
   the primary goal is to clarify the code, not performance.

   tar: support --one-top-dir=/abs/olute
   It appears that people were using the --one-top-dir=DIR option
   with an absolute file name, even though this behavior was
   undocumented and erratic and recent tar versions rejected it.
   Document and implement behavior that I hope people expect.
   * src/extract.c (MAKEDIR_FULL_ESCAPE): New constant.
   (make_directories): Let full directory names escape if
   MAKEDIR_FULL_ESCAPE is passed.
   (create_dir): Let DIR escape if it is the one-top-level dir
   or an ancestor.
   * src/misc.c (fdbase_opendir): Replace old CHILD_OFLAGS arg with
   two new args CHILD and OFLAG, so that the functionalities can be
   distinguished.  All callers changed.
   (fdbase_escape): New function.
   (fdbase): Use it, for simplicity.
   * tests/onetop06.at: New test file.
   * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it.
   * tests/testsuite.at: Include it.

   tar: reject -C x --one-top-dir=/abs/olute
   It’s not clear what ‘-C x --one-top-dir=/abs/olute’ should mean,
   so for now let’s play it safe and reject that combination.
   * src/misc.c (chdir_arg): Diagnose attempts to combine
   -C with --one-top-level=/abs/olute.
   * tests/onetop06.at: Move last test to onetop07.at,
   since it now differs in behavior and it’s better to
   test it separately.
   * tests/onetop07.at: New file.
   * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it.
   * tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
