Better error handling

While talking to David Zeuthen, he mentioned that our current error handling is not very user friendly and I agree.

Presenting the user the message "Boot has failed, sleeping forever." does not really help.

Instead of displaying the message, we could:

- turn "rdshell" into "rd.no_shell" and drop to a shell by default.
  Admins with security concerns will lock grub with a password, and can add
  the "rd.no_shell" parameter.

- add simple tools to present the user a list of mountable partitions, assemble lvms, md, dmraid and mount network devices.


What do you think?
