Split out initcpio scripts

Since v46 we do not require the initcpio scripts for the archiso package anymore (only as a package to pacstrap when building a profile). IMHO this is a good time to move them to a separate repository so that their maintenance can be done there and so that their release schedule may be different from that of archiso.

Archiso is not a big or active project. It would be disappointing if the initcpio scripts would get split off to just rot away.

If you do split them off, it's important to make sure the git history is kept.

Retaining the history is of course a set condition. Have not done it yet, but I know it can be done! :)

The initcpio scripts have been split out using git-filter-repo with the following settings:

# get all current initcpio scripts
regex:^docs/README.(altbootmethods|bootparams)
regex:^archiso/(hooks|initcpio|install)/.*

# get all previous initcpio scripts (they have been moved/ renamed a few times)
regex:^archiso/archiso_(pxe_nbd|shutdown)
regex:^arch(live|iso)_(hook|install)
regex:^boot-(cd|usb)_(hook|install)
regex:^(hooks|install)/.*

# get all Makefiles
regex:^archiso/Makefile
regex:^Makefile

# get LICENSE
regex:^LICENSE

# get editorconfig
regex:^.editorconfig

# get project description files
regex:^(AUTHORS|CONTRIBUTING).rst

# move the initcpio directories top-level
archiso/initcpio/hooks/==>hooks/
archiso/initcpio/install/==>install/
archiso/initcpio/script/==>script/

They now live at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio-archiso/ and can be removed here.
