hpkg attribute tags: use 7 bits for attribute ID

ATM the 6 bits suffice, but there isn't that much headroom.

Package/repository file format: Add a minor version header field

* Add minor_version to hpkg_header and hpkg_repo_header and make
heap_compression uint16.
* If the minor version of a package/repos

Package/repository file format: Add a minor version header field

* Add minor_version to hpkg_header and hpkg_repo_header and make
heap_compression uint16.
* If the minor version of a package/repository file is greater than the
current one unknown attributes are ignored without error. This allows
introducing new harmless attributes without making the resulting files
unreadable for older package kit versions.

Add padding in HPKG/HPKR headers

... so that the different alignment on 32 and 64 bit machines doesn't
change the layout.

hpkg format: compress the whole heap

Instead of handling compression for individual file/attribute data we
do now compress the whole heap where they are stored. This
significantly improves compression ratios. We still divide the
uncompressed data into 64 KiB chunks and use a chunk offset array for
the compressed chunks to allow for quick random access without too much
overhead. The tradeoff is a limited possible compression ratio -- i.e.
we won't be as good as tar.gz (though surprisingly with my test
archives we did better than zip).

The other package file sections (package attributes and TOC) are no
longer compressed individually. Their uncompressed data are simply
pushed onto the heap where the usual compression strategy applies. To
simplify things the repository format has been changed in the same
manner although it doesn't otherwise use the heap, since it only stores
meta data.

Due to the data compression having been exposed in public and private
API, this change touches a lot of package kit using code, including
packagefs and the boot loader packagefs support. The latter two haven't
been tested yet. Moreover packagefs needs a new kind of cache so we
avoid re-reading the same heap chunk for two different data items it
contains.

Rename BBlockBufferCache and friends to *Pool*

Also move BBlockBufferPoolNoLock into BHPKG namespace with the other
classes. Not sure why it wasn't there before.

package kit: some fixes for multi-version support

* Use enums/constants/functions instead of preprocessor macros.
* Missing include in PackageInfoAttributeValue.h.
* PackageReaderImpl::Init(): Check version before header size and
return B_MISMATCHED_VALUES instead of B_BAD_DATA, if the version
doesn't match. This allows callers to determine the condition and
try a reader for a different version. A more flexible interface for
that case would be nice, but since we want to support the old package
version only temporarily, the current solution should be good enough.

Largish adjustments to PackagerReaderImpl and package attribute
handling:
* package attributes are now compatible with the low level attribute
handling of other HPKG attributes (such that 'package dump' now shows
package attributes, too)
* dropped type names from hpkg format, the attributes were identified
by IDs already and this simplifies the code considerably. Type names
are now handled in BLowLevelPackageHandler only.
* instead of rolling their own mechanism, high-level package attributes
handling is now implemented via a corresonding set of
AttributeHandler-subclasses
* adjusted package writer to only write package attributes that are
needed (empty ones are left out)
