Enable seamless compression for WIN32
In the archival code we pretend that WIN32 is a no-MMU platform and
use the new mingw_popen_fd routine to pipe data to/from commands
to compress/decompress.
The pretence is maintained by redefining MMU macros in bb_archive.h.
This is mostly used in the archival code but there are a handful
of places where it's used to access public interfaces. The symbol
BB_ARCHIVE_PUBLIC is defined in these places.
With these changes:
tar supports seamless compression/decompression
rpm2cpio and dpkg-deb can be enabled
