rS285844: ar: add -U (unique) option to disable -D (deterministic) mode

Summary

I'd like to make ar(1) produce deterministic output by default. In order to do so we'll first need an option to turn off deterministic mode.

Note that this is against upstream ELF Tool Chain ar(1), which is a little different from the one in the FreeBSD tree. I plan to migrate to ELF Tool Chain's eventually, but this change should apply (perhaps with trivial modification) to FreeBSD's.
