Vladimír Čunát f3ec500d48 libarchive: move patch into nixpkgs
Unfortunately, github periodically changes output even for raw diffs
(not just raw patches). I'm including the patch in nixpkgs.

I was unable to do it without hash change. Even if I added binary equal file.

Subject: [PATCH] Limit write requests to at most INT_MAX. This prevents a
certain common programming error (passing -1 to write) from leading to other
problems deeper in the library.
