default_kernel_images and -i/-k paths are new (SuSE) code paths and
would have resulted in usage errors before.
There we want to build host only images for faster building and
smaller images.
Also force creation (overriding) of initrd images in these code paths.

-d is the SUSE mkinitrd version option to pass the rootfs.
-s is to enable splash which may not be needed, but some callers rely on it,
not to return an error.
Make this wrapper compatible to it.

Before this gave a "usage" error.
Now boot_dir (by default /boot) is scanned for available kernels and sane
initrd default targets get defined and the corresponding initramfs files
are generated.

Dracut is rather verbose. This optional parameter is to limit the output
to the essential: For each generated initrd show the kernel, target and
possibly additional options passed to dracut.

Currently --with parameter had to be passed as: --with="mod1 mod2".
Now one can pass: --with "mod1 mod2" or even --with mod1 mod2.

In SUSE, one can pass a list of kernel files via -k parameter.
For each an initrd is generated as passed via -i parameters.
Make the dracut mkinitrd wrapper compatible to those.
For now only one kernel file and initrd target can be specified.
This will get enhanced with a follow-up patch.

Current kernels know how to uncompress bzip2 and xz, so use them for compressing
the initramfs if asked. The more compression the merrier.
Also add support for generating uncompressed images, although they
are usually not what you want.
