This patch changes the reproduce tests so that they no longer extract
the "long" paths of the generated reproduce tar archives. This
extraction prevented them from being run on Windows due to potential
issues relating to the Windows path length limit.
This patch also reduces the use of diff in these tests, as this was
raised as a performance concern in review D77659 and deemed unnecessary.

This is how we use TarWriter in LLD. Now LLD does not append
a file extension, so you need to pass `--reproduce foo.tar`
instead of `--reproduce foo`.

OpenBSD's cpio does not accept the -t option without -i.
Apparently some systems implement cpio -t as a shortcut
for cpio -it, the latter is the only thing that's documented.
This change avoids test failures on OpenBSD.

We want --reproduce to
* not rewrite scripts and thin archives
* work with absolute paths
Given that, it pretty much has to create a full directory tree. On windows that
is problematic because of the very short maximum path limit. On most cases
users can still work around it with "--repro c:\r", but that is annoying and
not viable for automated testing.
We then need to produce some form of archive with the files. The first option
that comes to mind is .a files since we already have code for writing them.
There are a few problems with them
The format has a dedicated string table, so we cannot start writing it until
all members are known.
Regular implementations don't support creating directories. We could make
llvm-ar support that, but that is probably not a good idea.
The next natural option would be tar. The problem is that to support long path
names (which is how this started) it needs a "pax extended header" making this
an annoying format to write.
The next option I looked at seems a natural fit: cpio files.
They are available on pretty much every unix, support directories and long path
names and are really easy to write. The only slightly annoying part is a
terminator, but at least gnu cpio only prints a warning if it is missing, which
is handy for crashes. This patch still makes an effort to always create it.
