Move more common extraction/listing functionality into BaseExtractor.

I noticed that a lot of the extract_archive/get_filenames implementations
were the same two lines of code: a pipe and a run_pipes. Short as it is,
there's no reason to keep repeating that two-line incantation, so I moved
this basic pattern into BaseExtractor.

To do:

* Investigate the right way to handle SIGPIPE and do so.

* --expert mode: prompts don't show an explanation of what the options are,
  unless you ask with ?.

Things which I have a use case/anti-use case for:
* Support pisi packages (http://paketler.pardus.org.tr/pardus-2007/)
* Steal ideas from <http://martin.ankerl.com/files/e>.
* More consistently raise and handle exceptions.

Things that are generally good:
* Better tests.
* Better error messages.

Things I think might be good but can't prove:
* Consider having options about whether or not to make sane directories,
  have tarbomb protection, etc.
* Use zipfile instead of the zip commands.
* Processing from stdin.
* shar support.
