We pass all our dracut configuration files via a config dir, but dracut
insists with having one config file. Because we do not want to have to
chose which file we pass (which would then have to be excluded from the
config dir), we just used an arbitrary empty file, and /dev/null seemed
to be a good candidate.
However, some build environments do not have a complete /dev, and may be
missing entries otherwise taken for granted, like /dev/null. This is
especially the case in constrained environments like containers.
Switch away from using /dev/null, and do create an actual empty file
that we can use as the dracut config file.

It is not unusual that projects can target multiple boards, and in
such cases, a lot is shared between boards and only the low-level
stuff differ.
Allow users to specify more than one dracut config file to cover
tose cases.
dracut does not accept more than one config file with the -c option,
but it can load more than one from a directory with --confdir. So,
we copy all the config files to a temporary directory and se that as
--confdir. However, we can't drop passing -c, or dracut would read
the system-wide /etc/dracut.conf (not sure if ${prefix} is even used),
which we do not want. So, we use an empty file as -c; /dev/null comes
in handy as an empty file.

Adds an option to invoke the dracut host tool, providing
a configuration file, instead of having a full cpio archive
of the whole target directory.
A default configuration file is provided. It assumes busybox init.
ideally, a different default should be used in case of systemd init, but
that's left for future work.

Commit 98a6f1fc02 (fs/cpio: make initramfs init script survive 'console='
kernel argument) dropped the explicit /dev/console execs for fd 0,1,2, as
they fail when booted with console= and aren't really needed as the kernel
will setup fd 0,1,2 from /dev/console before executing the initramfs anyway.
Not doing this unfortunately confuses glibc's ttyname_r(3) implementation
(used by E.G. busybox/coreutils 'tty'), causing it to fail with ENOENT as
it does a fstat on fd 0 and tries to match up st_ino / st_dev against the
entries in /dev (since glibc 2.26):

linux ttyname and ttyname_r: do not return wrong results
If a link (say /proc/self/fd/0) pointing to a device, say /dev/pts/2, in a
parent mount namespace is passed to ttyname, and a /dev/pts/2 exists (in a
different devpts) in the current namespace, then it returns /dev/pts/2.
But /dev/pts/2 is NOT the current tty, it is a different file and device.
Detect this case and return ENODEV. Userspace can choose to take this as a hint
that the fd points to a tty device but to act on the fd rather than the link.

The reason it fails is that we manually mount devtmpfs on /dev in /init, so
the /dev/console used by the kernel (in rootfs) is not the same file as
/dev/console at runtime (in devtmpfs).
Notice: Once logged in, tty does work correctly. Presumably login reopens
stdin/stdout/stderr.
To fix this, re-add the exec of /dev/console for fd 0,1,2, but only do so if
possible. Because of the above mentioned shell behaviour (specified by
POSIX [0]), perform this check in a subshell.

The output of 'find' depends on the directory entries, and is not
ordered. As a consequence, the cpio archive is not reproducible.
Fix that by sorting the output of find. Use the 'C' locale to enforce
reproducibility that does not depend on the locale.

When booting with 'console=<empty>' in the kernel command line (as e.g.
U-Boot does with silent flags in effect), opening /dev/console fails.
As per POSIX [0], when iany redirection fails, the shell running exec
shal exit in error. So, when 'console=<empty>' is specified.
/dev/console can't be opened, and the redirection fails, and /init is
killed.
That behaviour was fixed on the kernel side with commit 2bd3a997befc2
(Open /dev/console from rootfs), present since 2.6.34, released in May
2010, so any [dr]ecent kernel will have that fix.
Furthermore, busybox will fix things up anyway (in bb_sanitize_stdio()),
falling back to opening /dev/null if no console is availble. systemd
does a similar thing (in make_console_stdio()), and sysvinit again has
a similar approach (in console_init()).
The archealogy search turned up those relevant commits:
2011-08-04 10a130f91e initramfs/init: make sure that 0, 1, 2 fds are available
introduces the three exec redirections in initramfs
2011-09-06 3fac21ef8d cpio: fix boot with dynamic /dev

2012-11-04 e1ebae700a fs/common: Create initial console device

cpio
2018-03-31 dec061adce fs/cpio: don't extend packages' permissions table
switched from the permission-table to a manual mknod to create
/dev/console
The redirections were added before we could guarantee there was a
/dev/console in the rootfs.
We're now guaranteed to have /dev/console in an initramfs, and any recent
kernel will automatically open /dev/console before spawning /init.
The three redirections are useless now, and cause harm under certain
conditions. Drop them.

Currently, when we build a cpio filesystem without static devices, we
shoehorn the /dev/console node as if it were specified by a package.
This means that this device is added for all filesystems as well, not
just the cpio. But if we disable cpio, that device is not created for
other filesystems.
This is not very clean, and may break expectations.
Instead, use an explicit mknod as part of the _CMD, as we know it's
going to run under fakeroot.
This is still visible to all filesystems built after cpio, and not to
those built before it, though.

We already have a mechanism for running stuff after the filesystem is
generated, and that's called post-gen hooks.
Use those hooks.
Note: for cpio (and unlike ext2 previously), the dependency chain was
correct, in that the post-target rule correctly depended on the image
rule. Nonetheless, we still want to fix it for consistency.

This makes things easier to understand and more consistent with the pkg-infra.
For example, it removes the need for '$$@' in the CMD variables of fs/*/*.mk.
It also makes it possible to update the variables later, e.g. in the package
override file.
It also makes sure that the date will be recorded correctly in Yann E. Morin's
patch that logs the MESSAGE macros to a file.
The fs/*/*.mk must be updated as well because the '$@' shouldn't be quoted
anymore in the CMD variables or the hooks.
The $(eval ...) for the dependencies is redundant, because the $(ROOTFS_TARGET)
variable is already eval'd. Note that it is only redundant if the evaluation of
the uses of the variable is also delayed.

A /dev/console node must be present in rootfs when the Linux kernel
boots otherwise the kernel will print the following warning:
"Warning: unable to open an initial console"
This is because when we use an initramfs the /dev directory is not
populated at this point. This can cause problems when a program
(e.g ldso with early debugging enabled) opens a standard file
descriptor for read/write before these descriptors are actually
created by the init process later on.
