system/xar: Removed (fails to build).
Changes in ext4 have broken xar, see Gentoo bug 583668 and https://github.com/mackyle/xar/issues/10 -- there is no fix for this problem from upstream at this time. Signed-off-by: David Spencer <baildon.research@googlemail.com>

-The XAR project aims to provide an easily extensible archive format. Important
-design decisions include an easily extensible XML table of contents for random
-access to archived files; storing the table at the beginning of the archive to
-allow for efficient handling of streamed archives; the ability to handle files
-of arbitrarily large sizes; the ability to choose independent encodings for
-individual files in the archive; the ability to store checksums for individual
-files in both compressed and uncompressed form; the ability to query the table
-of content's rich meta-data.

-NOTE: This script builds a fork of the original XAR project developed by Rob
-Braun at code.google.com. The forked project includes several bug fixes and
-enhancements.
