be_package: fallback to standard filelist loading

In order to work properly, loading the filelist from an mtree file
requires a libarchive patch that has not yet been included in an
official release.[1]  Under certain circumstances, an unpatched
libarchive may refuse to read the mtree file due to inconsistencies
between it and the user's file system.  In order to allow alpm to
recover in this situation, read the mtree data into a temporary filelist
that is only copied over to the package if the entire read is
successful.
