Title:
  Make squashfs-tools in Xenial in sync with Bionic and Cosmic

Status in squashfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in squashfs-tools source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  squashfs-tools upstream hasn't changed in a while but a number of
  bugfixes are applied through packaging in Debian and Ubuntu.

  The bionic and cosmic versions right now are identical but xenial is
  missing a few fixes which is a problem for the LXD snap among other
  things.

  Looking at debian/series/patches, the fixes currently missing in the xenial version are:
   - 0007-fix-2GB-limit-in-mksquashfs.patch
   - 0008-preserve_file_capabilities.patch

  I'll attach test cases for both of those below and then will prepare
  an SRU that effectively makes the source package identical to what we
  have in bionic, minus the different changelog.

  This should be pretty safe considering both Ubuntu and Debian have
  been shipping those two patches for a while and the fs caps one is
  going to be pretty important moving forward as we're discussing having
  Ubuntu ship with fscaps by default.
