Takes the advantage of already symlinks created on /dev/disk/by-label/ by
60-persistent-storage.rules add by udev hook.
Tested on:
* Real machine as CD-ROM and USB key drive.
* KVM as CD-ROM and DISK (for both modes, in combination with IDE and SCSI)
* VirtualBox as IDE CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT note: Since isohybrid is a hack, if more partitions are added to
USB key drive, filesystem on these partitions MUST have LABEL, otherwise
USB key will fail to boot. Anyway there is an option archisodevice=,
to force and specific device where live-media reside.
(Maybe isohybrid will change the hack method used in a future)

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.

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.

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.

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.
(Thanks fs4000, for point me on that)
