Add support for ethernet point-to-point connections configured via DHCP
When current dracut receives an ip with netmask of 255.255.255.255 via DHCP,
setting the also supplied default gateway fails (because it is obviously not
within the netmask).
The setup with a netmask of /32 is quite common in colocation datacenters
where you don't want the machines of two different customers to directly talk
to each other. At least two of the biggest colocation providers in Germany
(1&1 and Strato) do it that way. NetworkManager supports this kind of setup
and the dhclient-scripts of several distributions too.
In this patch I have implemented a simple approach very similar to what is
found in Debian. The dhclient-script from Fedora uses a more sophisticated
approach, but that relies on the ipcalc utility which would introduce a
dependency on Fedora-initscripts for dracut.

multipath: install all multipath path selector kernel modules
By default, dracut only builds in dm-service-time into the initramfs as
that is the default multipath.conf path selector. If the user changes
the path selector to "round robin" on the fly and runs dracut, multipath
does not find any paths on boot and the user will be dropped into a
shell.
Apparently, in RHEL7 dracut defaults to "hostonly" mode, i.e. modules
not currently in use at the time dracut runs do not get built into
initramfs. This is definitely one case where this doesn't work. A change
to reconfigure multipath probably should not render the system
unbootable.

dmsquash-live: do not abort, if user pressed ESC on checkisomd5
If the user pressed ESC while checkisomd5 runs the media check, it will
exit with "2". Previously that would mean, that the media check was not
successful.

base: Don't wait for swap devices in host-only mode.
The only reason we add swap devices to host-only mode (added in dd5875499ece9dbc90e10eafd0073ee15d0c86a4) is to allow us to process
resume= arguments passed on the kernel command line when the swap
partition lives on something slightly more complex than a normal
partion (e.g. in an LVM or RAID setup).
By adding the device to host_devs, the necessary LVM and RAID hooks
are added and thus the underlying storage will be initialised OK, and
the 95resume module handles the waiting for the device (via udev rules
creating the /dev/resume symlink).
So ultimately, we do not need to hard-code the waiting for the swap
devices into the initramfs at build time as the waiting part can be
dynamic.
This makes things more resiliant to swap partitions disappearing and
being reformatted etc.

dmsquash: Add squashfs support to rd.live.fsimg
Previously rd.live.fsimg only supported filesystems residing in
(compressed) archives.
Now rd.live.fsimg can also be used when a squashfs image is used.
This is achieved by extracting the rootfs image from the squashfs and
then continue with the default routines for rd.live.fsimg.
In addition some code duplication got removed and some documentation
got added.

dmsquash: Add rd.live.overlay.thin
This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
dmsquash module.
Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.

Adding support for read/write filesystem images
A user can provide a filesystem image (rootfs.img) inside a compressed
tarball and that filesystem image will be mounted read/write. This provides
some benefits over a device mapper snapshot overlay, especially when the
live system becomes full. The boot command line simple needs
"rd.writable.fsimg" added to utilize this feature.
Additional documentation for this option as well as other live boot
options is included.

Change the fs_passno of nfs to 0
There is a bug that kdump-initrd contains entry requesting nfs dump
filesystem to get filesystemchecked. And there is an erro message said
that nfs need be checked. But there's no fsck for nfs utility, e.g
fsck.nfs like other file system. Whatever fs_passno 0 or 2 are passed,
no fsck is executed at all for nfs mount.But in dracut, set it to be 2
always, so the erro message appear and it should be set to 0.
In the fstab,the sixth variable fs_passno stands for that the device need
checked or not,and dracut set it to "2".To fix this issue, it should
be "0" when the device is nfs.The third variable stands for the type of
the filesystem and we can use it to judge whether the device is nfs.
So when the third variable of fstab contains "nfs", the sixth variable
fs_passno should be set to "0".

Factor out all the "type -V" commands
Add new functions require_binaries() and require_any_binary() to be used
in the check() section of module-setup.sh.
These functions print a warning line telling the user, which binary is
missing for the specific dracut module.
This unifies the way of checking for binaries and makes the life of an
initramfs creator easier, if he wants to find out why a specific dracut
module is not included in the initramfs.
