Unsquash-4: update to dynamically read directory table
Originally when Unsquashfs was written it decompressed the entire filesystem, and wrote it out to disk. As such it made sense to read and decompress the entire directory table at start-up. Since then new options have been added to Unsquashfs which can significantly limit the amount of the filesystem written to disk, e.g. extract files, and more recently exclude files and depth limiting (-max option). So it no longer makes sense to read and decompress the entire directory table at start-up, when much of it may never be referenced. It just adds unnecessary overhead.
