Dan Fandrich 954177b9da tool_xattr: create the user.creator xattr attribute
This indicates that the file was created by curl which can help a user
determine the origin of a file. Like the other attributes, this is only
enabled with the --xattr option.

--xattr

When saving output to a file, tell curl to store file metadata in extended file attributes. Currently, curl is stored in the creator attribute, the URL is stored in the xdg.origin.url attribute and, for HTTP, the content type is stored in the mime_type attribute. If the file system does not support extended attributes, a warning is issued.
