always unlink files before extraction
libarchive will not extract a directory over an existing directory
symlink, making it impossible to replace a symlink with a directory
across packages. Adding the ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_UNLINK and
ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINKS causes libarchive to unlink the existing
symlink and prevents it from extracting any paths that contain
a symlink, which we should not be doing anyway.
