test: system tests for Fedora compatibility

[rmiki-dev]

This PR is a sub-issue of the initial System tests PR #78.

Due to cross-platform compatibility issues encountered in the original PR, I am splitting the implementation by platform. This specific PR focuses on stabilizing and enabling the system tests for Fedora builds.

Subsequent PRs will be submitted for macOS and Windows platforms/architectures once this baseline is merged.

Relates to #78

Code Review

This pull request refactors the existing test suite by extracting common helper functions into a new tests/utils.sh file and significantly expands test coverage with several new integration scripts. These new tests cover various scenarios including delta paths, fuzzy renames, multiple old layers, source prefixes, and CLI error handling. Feedback highlights a potentially dangerous directory deletion in the Makefile, a bug in the sparse file creation logic within the utility script, and a portability improvement for temporary directory creation.

On the whole makes sense to me, but I think there might be a critical bug in the makefile.

Can you update the .gitignore file to include the temporary "test/" directory and the tar-diff/tar-patch executables in the top level directory:

$ git status
git status
On branch pr-81-testing
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
	tar-diff
	tar-patch
	test/
