Title: Add make rule for building Arch Linux packages

Added the necessary build infrastructure for building packages
compatible with the Arch Linux distribution. As such, one can now run:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg # Alternatively, one can run 'make arch' as well

on an Arch Linux machine to create two binary package compatible with
the pacman package managter, one for the spl userland utilties and
another for the spl kernel modules. The new packages can then be
installed by running:

# pacman -U $package.pkg.tar.xz

In addition, source-only packages suitable for an Arch Linux chroot
environment or remote builder can also be built using the 'sarch' make
rule.

NOTE: Since the source dist tarball is created on the fly from the head
of the build tree, it's MD5 hash signature will be continually influx.
As a result, the md5sum variable was intentionally omitted from the
PKGBUILD files, and the '--skipinteg' makepkg option is used. This may
or may not have any serious security implications, as the source tarball
is not being downloaded from an outside source.
