If a file in the layer tarball is labeled foo/.wh..wh..opq, that indicates that the existing contents of the directory foo/ should be emptied. We were previously treating this the same as normal whiteout files (e.g. foo/.wh.myfile means delete foo/myfile), which doesn't work properly (for opaque directory labels).
With this commit, we're now able to delete a directory and recreate it in the same layer, and have it be unpacked properly.
Fixes #267
