tar: use more-accurate diagnostic when intermediate mkdir fails
Without this change, if tar tried to extract a file A/B/C, noticed
that A/B didn't exist, attempted to mkdir A/B, and the mkdir
failed, it did not diagnose the mkdir failure, but simply reported
the failure to open A/B/C. This sometimes led to confusion
because it wasn't clear what tar was trying to do, in particular
that tar tried to mkdir A/B. With this patch, tar issues two
diagnostics in this case: one for A/B and the other for A/B/C.

Several of the tests assumed that a newly created file cannot
have a time stamp dated in the future. This assumption is not
true when files are served by a remote host whose clock is
slightly in advance of ours. Fix the problems that I observed
when running "make check" a couple of times on such a server.

tar: --atime-preserve fixes for races etc.
This patch fixes a race condition in the --atime-preserve=replace
option, which might cause tar to improperly follow a symbolic link.
It also drops the use of the _FIOSATIME ioctl of Solaris 2.x
and later, which loses resolution on time stamps. Modern Solaris
systems support full-resolution time stamps in the kernel, and
it's not worth the hassle of testing this call, useful only in
no-longer-supported Solaris variants.
Also, it undoes a change I recently introduced to the --compare

--dereference option was also used. Quite possibly this change is
a good idea, but the old behavior was documented and the change
should not have been installed casually.
