As in title, this patch cleans up opt flags that exist for no reason and
adds additional flags to modify the disk meta info which would otherwise
be hardcoded.
I wasn't quite sure about the user directory part but it doesn't seem
like a good idea to put that part into the script and therefore I
commented it out. It would probably interfere with rc.local scripts that
take care of skel copying. I replaced the part after the TODO with a
safe guard to make sure that people who are not aware of the changes
will not be caught by surprise.

Rewrite the Makefile to avoid rebuild of squashfs images,
base filesystem, and redownload of packages for make the core-pkgs.
For now (what is tested): type make and all images will be created
in < 4 minutes (under tmpfs on Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 4GB)

Rename ramdisk_size parameter to tmpfs_size to avoid conflict with
the kernel parameter that is for old ramdisk based blockdevs (/dev/ramN)
and confusion to users.
The kernel parameter ramdisk_size=N is in "N * k size", while tmpfs
size=N is in "N * [ k | m | g ] byte size" or "in N% of RAM",
like is used by default on archiso.
This parameter is used only for tmpfs in size option.

The current implementation in how partition is created for ext2 img
it looks a bit bad.
This patch makes the partition in more standarized way, respecting
cylinder alignement:
* The size of resulting image will be in cylinder multiple ~8MB.
* Use fdisk instead of sfdisk (sfdisk write some bad information)
* Make the result image in one pass, instead of concatenating.
Also the advantage is that with this can add another partitions
without any issues in the usb-flash-drive with this .img.

Git doesn't track empty directories, so there is no
configs/install-iso/overlay/pacman.d/ directory when one clones the
archiso project. This causes "make <IMAGENAME>" to fail when
wget tries to fetch the mirrorlist. The fix is to make the directory
just before calling wget.

fstype from klibc don't detect a vfat formatted blockdevice when try to
mount /dev/archiso to /bootmnt. Some users don't use the recommened
method with dd to bring the image to their USB stick. If they for ex.
use Unetbootin to put the iso image on their (v)fat formatted stick they
got lost with a kernel panic cause fstype won't detect vfat, so the
mount and the later squashfs bindings traps.

We preset HARDWARECLOCK with localtime if the user doesn't set this via
cmdline. But this preset misaligned the BIOS clock if on UTC and the
user select this correctly during aif->date/time-setting.
This is in relation to FS#15263
Again: There is no need in LiveCD environment to modify BIOS clock
during shutdown.
Having this set per default to localtime rc.shutdown sources rc.conf and
so localtime is badly used. And worked against the meaning of above
flyspray report.
