Prior to this commit, the layout of created ext4 filesystems created using tar2ext4 wasn't deterministic. Recursive directory creation would change from run to run due to the usage of a map as temporary storage for items from the tar stream. This commit changes recursive directory creation to follow the same deterministic pattern as writeDirectory. At this point, the only possible source of non-determinism in a create file system is the UUID in the VHD footer. If no VHD footer is included, then the results are deterministic.

@SeanTAllen Were you going to change the UUID generation also in another PR? What's the plan for this, a hash? |

I believe that is still a topic for conversation. I will do in another PR once a decision is made. |
