Let graphdrivers declare diff stream fidelity

This allows graphdrivers to declare that they can reproduce the original
diff stream for a layer. If they do so, the layer store will not use
tar-split processing, but will still verify the digest on layer export.
This makes it easier to experiment with non-default diff formats.

Get behavioral characteristics of the graph driver. If a plugin does not handle
this request, the engine will use default values for all capabilities.
**Response**:
