feat(virtiofs): virtiofs root filesystem support

Currently dracut can't mount virtiofs as root filesystem.
Make possible to boot virtual machines off virtiofs,
passing "root=virtiofs:<mtag>", using the mount tag <mtag>
as root filesystem. Alternatively this module also supports
"rootfstype=virtiofs root=<mtag>"
