major switch from ramdisk to clp

- mdkinst_stage2.bz2 is now mdkinst.clp
- rescue_stage2.bz2 is now rescue.clp
- make_mdkinst_stage2 is now mdkinst_stage2_tool
  (we don't keep the live when building the clp, mdkinst_stage2_tool is able to create the clp from the live, or the live from the clp)
- all stage1 images now need cryptoloop & gzloop
- the clp can be preloaded in memory or not (see MEM_LIMIT_DRAKX_PRELOAD and MEM_LIMIT_RESCUE_PRELOAD)
  (for http & ftp, it *must* be preloaded)
- we don't uncompress the ramdisk anymore since the decompression is done on the fly, this makes the rescue boot much faster
- function get_ramdisk_realname() is replaced with macro CLP_FILE_REL
