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
