profiles/base: mask app-arch/lbzip2[symlink], app-arch/pigz[symlink]

Incompatible with merged-usr and is a fundamentally flaky approach.
- app-arch/lbzip2: bug #868318 (possible solution in bug #868651)
- app-arch/pigz: bug #868312 (possible solution in bug #868648)

It's suggested that users who want this feature use a wrapper
script in /usr/local (or otherwise on PATH), or configure tools
like tar to use lbzip2 & pigz respectively using EXTRA_ECONF.
