Anders Roxell 7fee08e53f tar_in: add keepdirlink option for --keep-directory-symlink ...

Add a new optional boolean argument 'keepdirlink' to tar_in that passes
--keep-directory-symlink to tar. This preserves existing symlinks to
directories when extracting, which is important for usrmerge systems
where /lib is a symlink to /usr/lib.

Without this option, extracting a tarball containing lib/modules/...
to / would replace the /lib symlink with a real directory, breaking
the system.
