This is like bsdtar --fflags.

Repurposing sys_llistxattr allows cross-platform interoperability, such as for a transfer from Linux to Mac then from Mac to Linux. It's also simpler by not affecting the rest of the codebase.

There is no new cmdline option because #165 wants this to work with just -avX.

Closes: #165
Closes: #508
