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>
on March 14, 2013
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-03/msg00018.html).
On the other hand, Michal Žeidl discovered that tar misfunctioned
when given empty file lists or lists with the trailing newline
misssing in the last entry. This was reported by Pavel Raiskup
on July 23
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-07/msg00009.html and
msg00010.html).

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.

tar: --owner and --group names and numbers
The --owner and --group options now accept operands of the form

databases; this implements Debian enhancement request 136231
