Process whiteouts correctly files

* Do not skip opaque whiteouts
* Do not treat whiteouts as relative paths
* Log error for legacy .plnk and .aufs AUFS whiteouts
* "Per
  https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/blob/main/layer.md#whiteouts
  An opaque whiteout entry is a file with the name .wh..wh..opq but
  code is currently missing the second second dot"
