dracut-026
==========
- introduce /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/ drop-in directory

  /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/*.conf can be overwritten by the same
  filenames in /etc/dracut.conf.d.

  Packages should use /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d rather than
  /etc/dracut.conf.d for drop-in configuration files.

  /etc/dracut.conf and /etc/dracut.conf.d belong to the system administrator.

- uses systemd-198 native initrd units
- totally rely on the fstab-generator in systemd mode for block devices
- dracut systemd now uses dracut.target rather than basic.target
- dracut systemd services optimize themselves away
- fixed hostonly parameter generation
- turn off curl globbing (fixes IPv6)
- modify the udev rules on install and not runtime time
- enable initramfs building without kernel modules (fixed regression)
- in the initqueue/timeout,
  reset the main loop counter, as we see new udev events or initqueue/work
- fixed udev rule installation
