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.

Check if there are any modification of files/directories inside
the target directory for squashfs image.
Implements in some way this item in TODO:
* Add 'needsupdate' function to check if a squashfs image in the
iso dir is up to date, if so, skip it; else rebuild it. No more
need for the -f flag

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.
For example of current situation:
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda archlinux-avr.toolchain.img -serial stdio

This will generate a label ARCHISO_$randomstring using the pwgen
utility and add this label to the kernel command line.
A new label will be generated for each image, so it can be uniquely
identified.

Again, in an attempt to make this feel cleaner, I've moved
more out to the makefile level. Not sure I'm happy with that
but it works for now

We don't want to tie the archiso scripts to the way the ISO
should boot the live system. This can and should be done at
the build (Makefile) level beforehand

This is just simpler and more intuitive. Shell tools can easily
be used to install from a file. For instance:
$ mkarciso ... -p "$(cat package-file)"
