Rework the way opencvs works in relation to files in the Attic/:

Previously, files in the 'Attic/' were linked into our filelist as being
'Attic/filename,v' this caused unneeded stress on certain functions
like cvs_file_classify() who had to do pointer voodoo to split out
the 'Attic/' part and do other very weird stuff to normalize the pathname
of these files.

Instead, we handle these files early in the start when we
build the fileslist in cvs_repository_getdir(). When encountering
the 'Attic/' directory, we recurse in it if required but instead of
using the 'Attic/' directory component as our base directory we stick
with the directory name where 'Attic/' resides in, resulting in the
correct filename while maintaining the correct RCSpath for the file.

This made the following things a lot easier:
(and in most cases actually fixed the below points)

- status with files in Attic/.
- checking out HEAD repositories with files in Attic/.
- checking out repositories with -rTAG.
- updating with -rTAG.

and as an added bonus the following now also works:

- correctly creating CVS/Tag in both local and remote mode thus
  allowing update/status/and more to work correctly with the tagged tree.
  (thanks to the correct handling of -rTAG cases).
- resetting tags with opencvs -A properly works too now.

This is a major step forward into the usability
of OpenCVS when it comes to maintaining multiple tagged trees, the next
logical step would be to fix commiting to branches.

enjoy you -stable cowards.

tested by myself, xsa, niallo and ckuethe
thanks guys!
