There is a buffer overflow in libarchive, CVE-2016-1541 [0]. According
to MITRE description, it "allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code via crafted entry-size values in a ZIP archive."

Yikes!

This patch applies the upstream patch [1].

Requesting your review, since soooo many packages depend on libarchive.

I will follow this commit with an "ungrafting" commit on core-updates.
