I had to check the code to make sure it really has to be a file, and
not e.g. (also) a literal command line string. Make that clearer in
the option descriptions.

We achieve this by stripping timestamps from within the filesystem,
and by using a pipeline to strip inodes from the cpio archive.
It functions for at least the 'gzip', 'xz', 'bzip2', 'lz4' and 'cat'
compressors. The 'lzop' compressor embeds a runtime timestamp.

Add third argument to add_full_dir: strip_prefix.
The strip_prefix will be stripped off from the destination
path (path in the initramfs image) when adding files.
Rationale: Make it easier to add rootfs overlay hooks when
generating images.
add_full_dir can be invoked in this way:
add_full_dir /path/on/parent/rootfs-overlay * /path/on/parent/rootfs-overlay
The above invocation will add all content of */path/on/parent/rootfs-overlay*
into */* in the initramfs image.

This lets users shoot themselves in the foot more easily, as they can
put their own modified hooks into /etc/initcpio/{hooks,install} to
override those shipped by the distro in /usr/lib/initcpio.
To make debugging easier, include the full path of the hook being used
when mkinitcpio runs in verbose mode.
Implements FS#37796.
This introduces support for the rd.log and rd.debug kernel command line
options, which log early userspace activity to /run/initramfs/init.log.
Code is largely inspired by Dracut's implementation of early userspace
logging, but without needless complexity and redundancies.

As a logical extension, allow the -p option to be specified multiple
times in order to process several presets at once.
