initramfs-tools 0.121 release candidate

[Ben Hutchings]

This is a major update, fixing most of the important bugs in the Debian
bug tracker.  Due to the scope of these changes and potential for
regressions, I've labelled this a release candidate, 0.121~rc2.  (If
you're wondering what happened to rc1, that had 'unstable' as the
distribution, which I didn't notice until after pushing the tag.)

This is currently only available in git and at
<https://people.debian.org/~benh/packages/>, as the Debian upload is
stuck in binary-NEW.

The major changes are:

- Split initramfs-tools binary packages into core and automation hooks,
  to allow for coinstallation of the core with other initramfs builders
- Fail at build-time if busybox is wanted but not found
- Rewrite build-time block device sysfs lookup to be generic
- Include modules for all components of a multi-disk device
- Use blkid to resolve LABEL=, UUID=, PARTLABEL= and PARTUUID= block
  device IDs at boot time, and do this much later
- Change file copying to distinguish executables from other file types
  and to preserve symlinks
- Run panic scripts just before dropping to a shell
