libarchive may return NULL.
archive_entry_filetype() can return 0. It does this for hard links in a GNU tar-created archive.

archive_entry_symlink()returns NULL if the entry is not a symlink. Calling Entry::symlink() would result in a segfault in that case.This PR introduces API breakage by changing the return type; A less breaking solution is to have the method panic on NULL, but that'd be inconsistent with other methods such as Entry::hardlink().
