Standardizing boot loader entry format
{configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64-{cd,usb}.conf,configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_{pxe,sys}.cfg}:
Standardizing the boot loader entry format by switching all entries to the form:
"Arch Linux install medium (<CARCH>[, <PROPERTY>])".
This removes the distinction between "CD" and "USB" when booting in UEFI "el-torito" (as the information is not useful).
Changing some of the syslinux help text as well to reflect this change. This also drops the specific <CARCH> from the
syslinux help text as it is duplicated information.

Closes #24

f166038db8 [configs/releng] Refactor build.sh: build only dual-iso
* This scripts, now runs only in x86_64.
* build.sh does not require arguments to run (no more build, clean, purge).
* /usr/share split is not done anymore: there are some differences between two arches. (ISO size +60MiB)
* /usr/lib/modules split is not done anymore: this was never enabled officially in aitab.

Tested and works fine. Maybe some small cosmetic changes needed.

87e84261c9 [configs/releng] Make syslinux.cfg (loadconfig) with relative paths.
We are only using these files only for SYSLINUX bootloader that supports
".." as directories.

ISOLINUX jumps to archiso.cfg via isolinux.cfg
PXELINUX goes directly to archiso.cfg via DHCP configuration.

Suggested by Thomas.

d7966acd15 [configs/releng] Use whichsys.c32 to determine bootloader type
* In that way we can have two differents syslinux menus depending if booting from
PXE or from non-PXE.
Some file renames are made to keep things ordered:

archiso_pxe* all things related to PXELINUX
archiso_sys* all things related to SYSLINUX
*_inc.cfg only contains INCLUDE directive

* By default NBD PXE option is selected for booting on timeout.
* As (NDB/NFS/HTTP/FTP) server is used the same IP from pxeserver.

* UI is more correct than DEFAULT for simple menu system.
* Remove TIMEOUT
* Remove PROMPT 0, this is the default value.

0411fc90bb [configs/releng] Make all syslinux bootloaders works with the sames configs.
* In that way, we have unified directory scheme among {pxe,sys,ext,iso}linux,
  sharing the same directory structure and config files.
* Also enable IPAPPEND (will show a warning message about unknown directive in non-pxelinux before menu)

NEW:
* Rename syslinux*.cfg -> archiso*.cfg
* Now syslinux.cfg is only a "loadconfig" trick like we are doing for isolinux
* All paths are now relative to %INSTALL_DIR% ($archisobasedir) (Default: /arch/)

85d243ff58 [archiso] Use dm-snapshot instead of aufs2 (A.K.A. "The Big Commit")

  * A block-level approach vs vfs-level.
  * No more unofficial (Linux) things.
  * More memory is needed.
* Refactor mkarchiso.

  (due recent change in mkinitcpio-0.6.15 on checked_modules()/all_modules())
  [Thanks Dave for the improved workaround]
* New configs/releng to build official images.
  * Works with a Bash script instead of Makefile.
    (better control and easy to maintain)
