In an effort to make layer content 'stable' between import
and export from two different graph drivers, we must resolve
an issue where AUFS produces metadata files in its layers
which other drivers explicitly ignore when importing.
The issue presents itself like this:
- Generate a layer using AUFS
- On commit of that container, the new stored layer contains
AUFS metadata files/dirs. The stored layer content has some
tarsum value: '1234567'
- `docker save` that image to a USB drive and `docker load`
into another docker engine instance which uses another
graph driver, say 'btrfs'
- On load, this graph driver explicitly ignores any AUFS metadata
that it encounters. The stored layer content now has some
different tarsum value: 'abcdefg'.
The only (apparent) useful aufs metadata to keep are the psuedo link
files located at `/.wh..wh.plink/`. Thes files hold information at the
RW layer about hard linked files between this layer and another layer.
The other graph drivers make sure to copy up these psuedo linked files
but I've tested out a few different situations and it seems that this
is unnecessary (In my test, AUFS already copies up the other hard linked
files to the RW layer).
This changeset adds explicit exclusion of the AUFS metadata files and
directories (NOTE: not the whiteout files!) on commit of a container
using the AUFS storage driver.
Also included is a change to the archive package. It now explicitly
ignores the root directory from being included in the resulting tar archive
for 2 reasons: 1) it's unnecessary. 2) It's another difference between
what other graph drivers produce when exporting a layer to a tar archive.

Fixes#1992
Right now when you `docker cp` a path which is in a volume, the cp
itself works, however you end up getting files that are in the
container's fs rather than the files in the volume (which is not in the
container's fs).
This makes it so when you `docker cp` a path that is in a volume it
follows the volume to the real path on the host.
archive.go has been modified so that when you do `docker cp mydata:/foo
.`, and /foo is the volume, the outputed folder is called "foo" instead
of the volume ID (because we are telling it to tar up
`/var/lib/docker/vfs/dir/<some id>` and not "foo", but the user would be
expecting "foo", not the ID

Now that the archive package does not depend on any docker-specific
packages, only those in pkg and vendor, it can be safely moved into pkg.
