don't do certificate verification for https downloads in the lua script
...
it is usually run during initramfs: we don't have a CA database there, so
all https downloads would fail otherwise.
Not doing cert verification at this step is clearly documented, so no
unexpected security risk for the user.

only unmount chroot /dev if still mounted
...
The latest Arch updates changed mount behavior during build, at least that
is what I'm seeing on my machine. So only do the second unmount if the
chroot /dev is still mounted. Otherwise the build script would abort due to
the error returncode.

add "nomdlvm" boot commandline option to not activate md raid or lvm devices
...
Activating md raid or lvm means that the kernel changes the metadata like
timestamps and mount counts of the devices and writes them to disk.
Also reconstructing degraded md raid devices is automatically activated.
There are cases when writing to disks is absolutely not wanted. For example
when restoring data from broken disks or when doing forensics.
The nomdlvm boot commandline option prevents any activation and thus
not wanted writes. If the user wants to use md or lvm with the option
set, all md or lvm devices have to be manually found and activated.
nomdlvm is only implemented as boot commandline option and does not use
the YAML config file. The reason is that the udev rules are evaluated
before sysrescue-configuration.lua is run, so the YAML config is not
ready yet. Moving nomdlvm after sysrescue-configuration.lua would be
an invasive operation and modify the activation order of all md and lvm
devices for all cases, increasing the probability of regressions.
Also udev rules offer a direct access to boot commandline options, making
implementation straightforward and robust.

fix dns requests in sysrescue-configuration.lua ( #291 )
...
The dns library used by lua requires /etc/hosts to exist, otherwise all
requests for name resolution are denied. This meant that using the
sysrescuecfg boot option with a http URL and hostname did not work
while using an IP worked.
This patch adds an empty /etc/hosts file to the initramfs image to fix this.

deliver SystemRescue with an already initialized pacman key database
...
Initializing the pacman key database during boot can take considerable time
and there is no locking during this time against concurrent file access.
This can lead to problems when installing packages soon after reboot.
This also speeds up the boot process.
Additional disk space requirement is about 1 MByte.
Fixes #290
