Reduce memory consuption when handling the -T option.
The commit cdb27293 made the -T option more flexible, but
incurred a very considerable memory overhead by storing
all file names in the argument array. In case of very
big file lists this caused tar to run out of memory. This
was reported by Christian Wetzel <wetzel@phoenix-pacs.de>

(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-03/msg00018.html).

misssing in the last entry. This was reported by Pavel Raiskup

tar: remove lint
This lint was found by GCC 4.6.2 on Fedora 15 x86-64.
* src/buffer.c (buffer_write_global_xheader, mv_end, set_start_time)
(compute_duration, print_total_stats, flush_read, flush_write):

* src/list.c (test_archive_label):
* src/misc.c (chdir_count):
* src/names.c (const):
* src/unlink.c (finish_deferred_unlinks):
Define with (void) instead of with (), for slightly-better C type
checking and to avoid a GCC warning.
* src/compare.c (diff_dumpdir):
* src/tar.c (parse_owner_group): Remove unused local.
* src/misc.c (chdir_do):
* src/tar.c (add_exclude_array): Rename local to avoid shadowing.
(LOW_DENSITY_NUM, MID_DENSITY_NUM, HIGH_DENSITY_NUM):
Define only if needed.
* src/update.c (update_archive): Initialize a local; this fixes
what appears to be a real bug.

tar: don't assume O_NONBLOCK is benign on regular files
On Data Migration Facility (DMF), High Peformance Storage System (HPSS),
and presumably other file systems based on hierarchical storage, opening
a regular file with O_NONBLOCK can cause later reads to fail with
errno == EAGAIN. We need the O_NONBLOCK to avoid some security races.
Work around the problem by using fcntl to clear the O_NONBLOCK
flag if I/O fails with that errno value.

writing over existing files, and restores --keep-old-files to its traditional
behavior.
