main/postmarketos-initramfs: run fsck and mount sysroot as rw

Administrator requested to merge jane400/initramfs-fsck into master

This moves the responsibility to auto-repair filesystems to the initramfs. (I think we don't do this at all right now). We don't try to mount broken partitions at all, we tell the user that the system is broken and fail_to_boot.

The flow is now:

  1. mount the boot partition (read-only) for initramfs-extra
  2. initramfs-extra is extracted (with the needed fsck executables)
  3. fsck the root partition
  4. mount root partition (read-write)
  5. fsck the boot partition
  6. mount the boot partition (read-write)

This helps with the systemd bringup, as we want to make use of systemd-firstboot, which sets /etc and enabled services up. As this service is responsible of setting up /etc, it is run before /etc/fstab is read and before / is remounted read-write.
