Ben Nemec c98a17222f Refactor deploy ramdisk to allow use of targetcli
RHEL 7 does not ship tgtadm or tgtd so they cannot be used in the
deploy ramdisk.  This change separates the tgt-specific parts of
the ramdisk into their own element, and adds a new one that supports
targetcli instead.

For now, the tgt implementation can only be used with traditional
busybox ramdisks and the targetcli one can only be used with dracut.
This is because dracut is primarily used for RHEL right now so it
makes sense to keep the dependencies simple.  If there is a future
desire to mix and match the implementations that could be done, but
it would require users to explicitly select between tgt and
targetcli.

dracut-ramdisk

Build Dracut-based ramdisks

This is an alternative to the ramdisk element that uses Dracut to provide the base system functionality instead of Busybox.

For elements that need additional drivers in the ramdisk image, a dracut-drivers.d feature is included that works in a similar fashion to the binary-deps.d feature. The element needing to add drivers should create a dracut-drivers.d directory and populate it with a single file listing all of the kernel modules it needs added to the ramdisk. Comments are not supported in this file. Note that these modules must be installed in the chroot first.

By default, the virtio, virtio_net, and virtio_blk modules are included so that ramdisks are able to function properly in a virtualized environment.
