The underlying issues this was trying to solve is to get a cheap
workaround for the fact that (open)SUSE with atomic support moved
/etc stock files to /usr/etc in order to improve compatibility. But
now that even nsswitch.conf moved, this is no longer enough. And it
might be more trouble to support once it's in an official release.
So let's rather drop it now.
This reverts commit e0524af2bf.
Sometimes, systems have more elaborate backends in nsswitch.conf,
the complexity of which we do not want in the initrd. SUSE systems
with atomic for instance, where those files may also reside in /usr/etc.
With this change, the unavaiable nsswitch.conf backends will be silently
ignored, and we still end up with all the information we need.

For the shell scripts, new environment variables were introduced.
dracutsysrootdir is the root directory, file existence checks use it.
DRACUT_LDCONFIG can override ldconfig with a different one that works
on the sysroot with foreign binaries.
DRACUT_LDD can override ldd with a different one that works
with foreign binaries.
DRACUT_TESTBIN can override /bin/sh. A cross-compiled sysroot
may use symlinks that are valid only when running on the target
so a real file must be provided that exist in the sysroot.
DRACUT_INSTALL now supports debugging dracut-install in itself
when run by dracut but without debugging the dracut scripts.
E.g. DRACUT_INSTALL="valgrind dracut-install or
DRACUT_INSTALL="dracut-install --debug".
DRACUT_COMPRESS_BZIP2, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LBZIP2, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZMA,
DRACUT_COMPRESS_XZ, DRACUT_COMPRESS_GZIP, DRACUT_COMPRESS_PIGZ,
DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZOP, DRACUT_COMPRESS_ZSTD, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZ4,
DRACUT_COMPRESS_CAT: All of the compression utilities may be
overridden, to support the native binaries in non-standard places.
DRACUT_ARCH overrides "uname -m".
SYSTEMD_VERSION overrides "systemd --version".
The dracut-install utility was overhauled to support sysroot via
a new option -r and fixes for clang-analyze. It supports
cross-compiler-ldd from

DRACUT_INSTALL_PATH was introduced so dracut-install can work with
a different PATH. In a cross-compiled environment (e.g. Yocto), PATH
points to natively built binaries that are not in the host's /bin,
/usr/bin, etc. dracut-install still needs plain /bin and /usr/bin
that are relative to the cross-compiled sysroot.
The hashmap pool allocate_tile/deallocate_tile code was removed
because clang-analyze showed errors in it. hashmap_copy was removed
because it wasn't used and clang-analyze showed errors in it.
DRACUT_INSTALL_LOG_TARGET and DRACUT_INSTALL_LOG_LEVEL were
introduced so dracut-install can use different settings from
DRACUT_LOG_TARGET and DRACUT_LOG_LEVEL.

Some crashkernel targets still use legacy NTLM auth, which
require those (bsc#869496). This patch enumerates all dependent
hash algorithems, because even though most of them are probably
compiled in, older ones (e.g. md4 and arc4) usually aren't.
Add new functions require_binaries() and require_any_binary() to be used
in the check() section of module-setup.sh.
These functions print a warning line telling the user, which binary is
missing for the specific dracut module.
This unifies the way of checking for binaries and makes the life of an
initramfs creator easier, if he wants to find out why a specific dracut
module is not included in the initramfs.
