vendor/libarchive/dist: Apply CVE-2013-0211 patch

Affects:  FreeBSD 9.3
CVE Name: CVE-2015-2304

Mitre's description: Integer signedness error in the archive_write_zip_data
function in archive_write_set_format_zip.c in libarchive 3.1.2 and earlier,
when running on 64-bit machines, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) via unspecified vectors, which triggers an improper
conversion between unsigned and signed types, leading to a buffer overflow. 

Discussion:
Fixed in head r248664
(https://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/base?view=revision&revision=248664) which has was
part of 10.0-RELEASE.

As this was not properly applied to vendor/libarchive, should the attached
patch be applied?  I was confused until I seen that r248664 was a direct commit
to head without the MFV the other patches have taken.

I haven't dug into the impact yet past this as this was the last issue I came
across and I've already added it to the port.
