dracut-052
==========
#### Features
- **dracut:**
- allow overriding the systemctl command for sysroot with `$SYSTEMCTL` for cross compilation
- add additional global variables
Variables like `dbusconfdir` or `systemdnetwork` are now exported
to the individual modules as global variables. If they are not set
in the distribution dracut config files, they are set via `pkg-config`
- A `--no-uefi` option as been added to the CLI options to disable a default `uefi=yes`
set by a configuration file.
- **kernel-modules:** add modules from `drivers/memory` for arm
- **network-legacy:** send dhcp in parallel on all devices via the `single-dhcp` option
- **dbus:** introduce a meta module for dbus
- **dbus-broker:** introduce the dbus-broker module
- **dbus-daemon:** introduce the dbus-daemon module
- **systemd-ask-password:** introduce the systemd-ask-password module
- **systemd-coredump:** introduce the systemd-coredump module
- **systemd-modules-load:** introduce the systemd-modules-load module
- **systemd-repart:** introduce the systemd-repart module
- **systemd-sysctl:** introduce the systemd-sysctl module
- **systemd-sysusers:** introduce the systemd-sysuser module
#### Bug Fixes
- first round of shellcheck for all shell scripts
- revise all module checks to not error out about missing dependencies
- use the top-level `/efi` path to address the EFI partition
- correct the squash quirk
- use `find_binary` instead of other methods, because `find_binary` honors `dracutsysrootdir`
- quote globbing in module-setup.sh for `inst_multiple`
- move ldconfig after library workaround
- do not set cmdline for uefi images unless asked
- **dracut:** don't override `PATH`, if `dracutsysrootdir` is set
- **dracut-functions.sh:** check kernel config from `dracutsysrootdir`
- **dracut-init.sh:** make inst_libdir_file work with `dracutsysrootdir` set
- **dracut-install:** allow globbing for multiple sources
- **06dbus:**
- do not hardcode path to dbus utils
- do not hardcode path to systemd unit
- **uefi** use efivars fs over the deprecated sysfs entries
- **keyring** adding shared keyring mode to systemd unit `dracut-pre-pivot.service`
- **35network-manager:** avoid restarting NetworkManager
- **90kernel-modules:** install generic crypto modules with hostonly unset
- **99squash:** use kernel config instead of modprobe to check modules
- **dbus-daemon:** use uid/gid from sysroot if `dracutsysrootdir` is set
- **kernel-modules:** add reset controllers for arm
- **kernel-network-modules:** also install modules from mdio subdirectory
- **mdraid:**
- remove the `offroot` option (long deprecated)
- add the grow continue service `mdadm-grow-continue`
- **network-legacy:** silent the check for dhcp leaseinfo
- **network-manager:** allow override network manager version
- **plymouth:** install binaries with dependencies
- **shutdown:** add timeout to umount calls
- **watchdog:** fix dependencies in `module-setup.sh`
