* 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 some options to control where all COW files will be located.
Until this moment all files are located in a tmpfs filesystem.
Now is posible to set a device via a filesystem label or device node
plus a directory, where all these files will be stored.
All dm-snapshot devices will be persistent by default,
but this can be changed if wanted.
Take care, a filesystem that does not support sparse files maybe
is not the best choice for COW files, because they are created with
the same size (is apparent) like the read-only device (the image.fs inside .sfs).
Of course sooner or later, depending on use, these files actually end up
being as big as the read-only device.
KNOW-ISSUE: On shutdown in step "Unmounting Filesystems" will [FAIL],
all filesystem except $cow_device, will be unmounted/remounted-ro.
For this reason this change needs an archiso_shutdown hook, thats
unmount all block devices used by archiso. (Work in progress)

* Preparing terrain for UEFI support.
* Also make isohybrid hack in one step.
* Removed UDF layer, since xorriso does not support it.
* Removed unsupported options by xorriso (-uid/-gid/-allow-limited-size)
* Removed option already default in xorriso (-input-charset utf-8)

purge_single command can be usefull to save space during build. It removes
all files in working directory except "iso/" and *.iso.
Workflow can be:
(32) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> i686 *.iso are ready.
(32) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup.
(64) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> x86_64 *.iso are ready.
(64) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup.
(any) ./build.sh all_iso_dual -> dual *.iso are ready.

Default value is "arch". This implies that all device mapper node
for snapshot devices will be for example: arch_root-image.
This helps AIF to hidden these devices from "Device Configuration".

* Use device mapper + snapshot module, instead union layer filesystem.
* A block-level approach vs vfs-level.
* No more unofficial (Linux) things.
* More memory is needed.
* Refactor mkarchiso.
* Refactor hooks/archiso.
* Fix install/archiso_pxe_nbd
(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)
* Remove configs/syslinux-iso.
* Remove archiso2dual script. Integrate functionality in configs/releng.
* New configs/baseline to build the most basic live medium or use as template.
* New README (draft). [Thanks Dieter for fixing english grammar]

Some rudimentary documentation that mkarchiso -h doesn't
quite cover. Poor humor comes free with the deal.
