when compressing data from STDIN

signal handling, program termination

- Fixed command line parsing bug for -b, -p, -m switches
- Fixed infinite loop when fileWriter fails to create output
file at start
- Fixed bug that deleted input filename (with .bz2 extension for
compression and without .bz2 extension for decompression) when
a user interrupts process with CTRL-C while outputting to STDOUT
- Fixed bug where 0 byte files were not processed properly when
data input from STDIN
- Ignores fwrite return and passes chown errors in writeFileMetaData
if effective uid root
