Simplify build process, using the same method like in shutdown hook by mkinitcpio
we still need a custom shutdown script for archiso,
since "twisted" structure of block devices.

This command makes a list of installed packages on root-image,
on <ISO>/$archisobasedir/pkglist.$arch.txt with the format
<repo>/<package>-<version>

If EFI/archiso/efiboot.img exists then an alternative "El Torito"
boot image is added to the ISO image compatible for EFI.
This image is a FAT filesystem, that is interpreted by EFI as ESP
(EFI System Partition).

* Remove devtools dependency.
* Better control over what files are touched inside chroot (root-image).
Now: NONE :)
* Two new commands:
+ init: To install {base} group and other needed packages (syslinux for now)
+ run: If we want to run some command inside chroot
(mkinitcpio, locale-gen, useradd, etc etc...)
* Renamed command: "created" to "install", says much better what does.

Needs mkinitpcio >= 0.8.4
Next changes will be for mdadm and mkinitcpio-nfs-utils:
* /lib/initcpio/udev/11-dm-initramfs.rules
* /lib/initcpio/ipconfig , /lib/initcpio/nfsmount

* Add libraries from /usr/lib and /sbin/losetup.
* Use used_block_devices to detach loop devices.

This list includes block devices of:
* Boot medium [archisodevice] (only if no copytoram= is used)
* Loop medium [img_dev] (only if no copytoram= is used)
* COW space [cowdevice] (only if cowdevice= is used (no tmpfs is used))
* Loop devices used for SquashFS images.
* Loop devices used for device-mapper devices (two per each dm-device, one RO{*.fs} and one RW{*.cow})

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.

This is needed for initscripts 2012.01, at least the entry for /.
Otherwise / is remounted ro, but not remounted rw later.

This was the first implementation that downloads the complete ISO,
but now we have the posibility of download only needed *.sfs files.

This was useful to me during development of dm-snapshot support
to create very quickly isos without wating for SquashFS compression.
Is time to remove this, I think the is no practical usage,
and make the code a bit more simple.

* Now we have more than one PXE boot methods.
* archiso_ndb_srv= accepts special ${pxeserver} parameter like in others PXE hooks.
* This allows to setup network from initramfs without forcing using a special PXE hook.
* Update README

On machines with common graphics chipsets (radeon, intel, nvidia), enable
KMS early. Downloading images from a remote server can take time, better
view the status with a nice resolution.
