Subject: [PATCH] extractor: Do not allow symlink in parents

Currently, it is still possible that some files are extracted outside of
the destination dir in case of malicious archives. The checks from commit
adb067e6 can be still bypassed in certain cases. See GNOME/file-roller#108
for more details. After some investigation, I am convinced that it would be
best to	simply disallow symlinks in parents. For example, `tar` fails to
extract such files with the `ENOTDIR` error. Let's do the same here.
