Implemented new ar functionality unique to busybox ar (i think), the -R

option enable a Recursive extraction (or listing) to take place.

i.e. if any files being extracted are themselves ar archives then
busybox ar will extract their contents as well.

e.g. take bar.deb and do (with GNU ar) ar -q foo.deb b.ar
then with busybox ar can do ar -x b.ar data.tar.gz

-R isnt used for anything in GNU ar so i think it should be ok, could
have used long options

This functionality will become (more) usufull with tar, gz support.
