Implement xattr-backed unprivileged operation #17

Description

@erikh

Right now, if you want to unpack tar files, you need to do it with full permissions support.

If we used xattrs or a naming scheme or a resource dir, we can store the permissions data in a way that could be restored after say a runc execution as a user.

This leaves some unanswered questions regarding user namespaces and rootless containers, but OS X could benefit greatly from this feature.
