stage1: Switch to a shared stage1.
Previously we would create a static stage1 for the installer, but as a dracut based initrd already includes glibc, there is very little advantage in this small, statically linked version. As a side note, it seems that if the initrd contains a /etc/modprobe.d/ folder (which can be the case with dracut) then dietlibc seems to return a ENOENT when calling readdir_r() on that folder (via the libkmod-config.c code).
