we still need a custom shutdown script for archiso,

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

+ 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.

We are currently checksuming all files inside $archisobasedir
(aitab, *sfs, kernel/initramfs and boot/syslinux related files)
this is stored in one file only. Its works good for now,
but I think we only need to checksum only aitab and *.sfs if they are needed.
Currently if you boot a dual-iso in i686, also checksum is done
for *.sfs of x86_64. Not a big issue, this just take a bit more time.
The real issue is when booting via PXE with HTTP/FTP methods,
since they download only aitab and needed *.sfs files,
can not use directly the only one file where checksums are stored.
This patch does:
(1) Do not checksum syslinux related files, anyway you are already reach initramfs stage.
(2) Do not checksum kernel/initramfs files, for the same as (1)
(3) Two checksum.${arch}.md5 for each i686 and x86_64 for only aitab and *.sfs.

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)
