Skip setupSCSI step when run with --local_install (mga#24278)

In a local install, we don't have udev running, so the setupSCSI step
will hang if it tries to probe for logical volumes (lvm2 uses udev).

A local install is used to test the installer (drakx_in_chroot) and to
build the Live ISOs (draklive2), and in both cases we don't really want
the install to be affected by the hardware of the host system. Skipping
the setupSCSI step means $o->{fstab} contains no entries, so we add a
fake entry for our chroot, to allow us to pass the subsequent check
that we have a root partition.

Catch sys_kernel_debug failure for local install

Some systems (for example some virtual machines) don't have any
USB devices and the mounting fails as usbcore is not loaded.

This is the case for every other call of it and just means USB
devices don't get detected.

installer: force update of /dev/disk/by-uuid after partitioning (mga#22059)

Because stage2 does not include the udev 60-blocks.rule, udev does not
automatically update the soft links in /dev/disk/by-uuid after we write
the partition table and format the partitions. We need these links to
be updated before we create the initrd. It would be cleaner to fix this
with a udev rule, but for now, use brute force.

commit 560f9ca983d743cc42701c24546ac8c2080a13fe introduced a regression
in that a lot of variables got autovivificated
This results in a bug for some of them, at least for 'compssListLevel'

The solution is to store options values in a hash (which actually
simplifies here):

Thanks Martin Whitaker for the suggestion
