Please sync libarchive 3.2.0-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * SECURITY UPDATE: code execution via incorrect compressed size
    - debian/patches/CVE-2016-1541.patch: check sizes in
      libarchive/archive_read_support_format_zip.c.
    - CVE-2016-1541
  * SECURITY UPDATE: denial of service via malformed cpio archive
    - debian/patches/issue502.patch: fix implicit cast in
      libarchive/archive_read_support_format_cpio.c, reject attempts to
      move the file pointer by a negative amount in
      libarchive/archive_read.c.
    - CVE number pending.
I verified in the code that both of the above security fixes are present in the new upstream release in unstable.

Changelog entries since current yakkety version 3.1.2-11ubuntu1:

libarchive (3.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add CVE identifiers to previous changelog entry.
  * Upload to unstable.
