dmraid is entirely broken if you try to use the system static
LVM/device-mapper. Instead, always build our own LVM2 for the initramfs,
using DESTDIR for cleaner install. Dead code paths for old LVM2 build
not removed yet until more users have tested.

Dogfooding of the /usr mount code with the matching OpenRC change to
make the mounts RW revealed some bugs and gotchas in our prior code, now
fixed and verified to work.

This implements customizable initramfs compression, based on the Pentoo
genkernel fork (SVN revs r2142, r2145, by Jens Pranaitis
<jens@chaox.net>).
New configuration option COMPRESS_INITRD_TYPE to allow manual selection,
whereas the Pentoo fork provided auto-selection based on what was
available in the kernel configuration. Auto-selection is used by
default, and is available with the argument of 'best' to the new option.

The existing multipath functionality manually picks up a binary and lots
of needed libraries manually, and sometimes misses libraries if the
binary was linked against something else.
Use lddtree from app-misc/pax-utils to get all libraries with the
binary. The only ones that will be missed are those that are dlopen()ed.
cpio is used for copying to preserve directory structure.
lddtree usage replaces a larger manual function from calling ldd, that
was also vulnerable to injections.

(commit message rewritten)
Provide real boolean commandline options for options that were
previously only available as booleans in the config, so that they can be
enable in configuration and overridden to disable on the commandline.
Remove negation on options: NOINSTALL, NORAMDISKMODULES,
NO_KERNEL_SOURCES.

instead. At the same time, mount cdrom into /mnt/cdrom instead of
/newroot/mnt/cdrom (which is now just a bind mount), this avoids
losetup to expose unavailable paths inside the live system, breaking
mkfs.btrfs (next upstream version, which does silly things with
/proc/mounts).
