rescue: add machined (and dbus as a dep) to the rescue.

This allows us to actually mount and run the system inside a container for
more advanced debugging.

I've successfully booted my systemd, logged in, had a fiddle and then
powered it off again. There are some delays and it's requried to umount
the /mnt/proc which seems to get automatically mounted before running
nspawn. Also audit support has to be turned off in the kernel too to
allow a full boot to work properly (otherwise the authentication in
the container doesn't work. This is a known problem in the kernel and
will be fixed eventually.

rescue: Use systemd as initsystem.

This commit converts the rescue system to systemd rather than the legacy
sysvinit.

Besides being faster, one primary advantage of running systemd here is
that we can "boot" the system we're inspecting via systemd-nspawn
to properly test it.

Note: Bits that don't work:
 * nspawn
 * old dracut initqueue udev rules in /etc/ are not cleaned out (drop in
   support error?)
 * the gui may loop differently now

/usr/X11R6/bin is dead for years

rescue: add a script to simplfy grabbing of journal logs for bug reports

preload fuse

2012-09-20T20:32:14+00:00

drop KA support

2012-09-03T11:22:22+00:00

rationale:
- support is not build in stage1,
- hasn't been tested for ages
- poor doc
- can been restored if someone show up to maintain

simplify bringing up local loop interface (pok, mdv)

preload load btrfs and nilfs2 too

mount /dev/{pts,shm} earlier, in stage1 rather than in stage2

2012-09-03T11:21:59+00:00

(based on pok's idead @mdv but fixed)

mount /dev as devtmpfs earlier, in stage1 rather than in stage2
