Do not save some large files whose only modification is mtime, for smaller IUK

E.g. /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive (104MB) doesn’t change between 0.22~rc1 and 0.22~rc2, but it still is shipped in the corresponding IUK.

winterfairy has built a 27% smaller IUK by passing -rlpgoD --checksum to rsync instead of --archive.
See “Smaller IUK packages” thread on tails-dev (November 2013).
