archiso/mkarchiso: various fixes

Merged nl6720 requested to merge nl6720/archiso:post-!59-fixes into master

Fixes to issues introduced in !59 (merged) :

  • _make_boot_on_fat(): copy initramfs from "${airootfs_dir}/boot/" not "${isofs_dir}/". Otherwise UEFI-only ISOs cannot be built.

Some general fixes:

  • Replace mkdir with install. Unlike mkdir, install does not complain when the target exists.
  • Reduce excess newlines produced by messages.
  • Ensure FAT image gets unmounted in case the script is interrupted.
  • Create the ext4 image with mkfs.ext4 instead of truncate.
  • Do not rely on user and group names for chown commands. Use numeric UID and GID instead.
  • Minimize the times stderr is redirected to /dev/null.
  • Add missing "?" to getopts.
  • Standardize function definitions by removing spaces between the function name and ().
