stage1: Move the symlink creation from stage1 to init.
In order to run stage1 we now need to do things a little differently, namely that we move the symlinking fixups into 'init' itself which we will actually call as a kind of fake switch_root implementation to avoid hacking dracut too much[1]. As we run stage1 during dracut's 'mount' phase we should not do the symlink hacks so early otherwise it will mess up the rest of the dracut initqueue processing. Currently, the initrd's /usr is nuked and then symlinked, but to allow for easier debugging I now just bind mount the stage2 /usr over the top which allows us to unmount it again easily enough if we want to go back. We no longer touch the /bin, /sbin or /lib[64] symlinks as these are relative and simply bind mounting /usr is enough to fix all of them. 1. This scheme will have to change if we eventually swtich to a systemd based dracut invocation.

+- do initrd symlinking in 'init' rather than 'stage1' (stage1 is now run earlier)
- build init and stage1 as a shared library (due to bugs in directory handling
in dietlibc as exposed in libkmod but also because glibc is already include in
dracut)
