[pbs-devel] [PATCH v5 pxar 01/62] format/examples: add header type `PXAR_PAYLOAD_REF`

[Christian Ebner]

Introduces the header type `PXAR_PAYLOAD_REF` to mark regular file
entry payloads, not encoded within the regular pxar archive but
rather redirected to a dedicated payload output writer.
It therefore substitutes the `PXAR_PAYLOAD` header type for these
entries.

The header marks the start and size for a `PayloadRef` typed object
in the archive, storing the offset to the payload header offset in the
payload stream of the dedicated payload output as well as the payload
size.

The `PayloadRef` provides the means to store, serialize and
deserialize the entry.
