xar should print out the file name it is archiving prior to archival #15

Right now, when you archive a file, it will print out the file name once
that file has successfully been added to the archive.  Instead, it would be
much more useful for debugging purposes to print the filename before it is
archived.

The issue here is xar currently prints out the path within the archive, not the 
path given.  Xar does some path 
munging when you archive something, stripping out leading / and extraneous 
///'s and ../../../../'s.  We only get 
the munged path back from xar_add() or xar_extract() after the file has been 
archived or extracted.

So, we could print the file path before the file is added/extracted, but it 
would be a different file path from what 
is currently being printed.

Maybe have -v be prior to archival (file-system path) and -V post archival 
(archive path)
