New losetup from util-linux 2.21 uses new /dev/loop-control from Linux 3.1.
Needs mkinitcpio-0.8.2+ (provides modules.devname, or workaround with earlymodules=loop)
Get advantages from it! Removing custom shell code.

* Now bootmnt/img_dev is always a ro-mount,
and cowspace is first ro-mount then rw-mount.
* Fix a "hidden" bug: at the time of test [[ -ef ]], if devices nodes
are not ready, such test will fail then archisodevice will mounted ro and
when cow_device is mounted to be rw it fails.
(I recently suffered this on a machine with slow USB)

* Support img_label=
* Allow use img_dev= as cow_device=
* Use new function _mnt_dev() from archiso.
* Check for error while setting loopback device.

This allow to take control again of these mountpoints outside initramfs.
(i.e: on deinitramfs stage at shutdown for unmount it)

Add two parameters:
img_dev=/dev/sdNM
where /dev/sdNM is the device where .iso is located.
img_loop=/path/to/arch.iso
where /path/to/arch.iso is the full path of the .iso in the device img_dev.
Original idea from Baurzhan Muftakhidinov.
