Thorough documentation with a dracut.bootup(7)-style flowchart,
dracut.cmdline(7)-style cmdline listing,
and per-file docs like the old README

So far, everything parsed root= manually, which meant that while
zfs-parse.sh was updated, and supposedly supported + -> ' ' conversion,
it meant nothing
Instead, centralise parsing, and allow:
root=
root=zfs
root=zfs:
root=zfs:AUTO
root=ZFS=data/set
root=zfs:data/set
root=zfs:ZFS=data/set (as a side-effect; allowed but undocumented)
rootfstype=zfs AND root=data/set <=> root=data/set
rootfstype=zfs AND root= <=> root=zfs:AUTO
So rootfstype=zfs /also/ behaves as expected, and + decoding works

Unlike other filesystems, snapshots and rollbacks of bootfs need to be
done from a rescue environment. This patch makes it possible to snap-
shot or rollback the bootfs simply by specifying bootfs.snapshot or
bootfs.rollback on the kernel command line. The operation will be
performed by dracut just before bootfs is mounted.

The dracut howto proposed to boot from the root dataset of a pool.
Apart from this giving problems when booting (as the code seems to
expect a child dataset and creates an illegal dataset name when using
the root dataset) the technical limitations of the root dataset
(among others the inability to rename or destroy through the `zfs`
command) resulted in the general consensus to only use it as a
container for the datasets in the pool - not as a filesystem itself.
Removed the idea to boot from the root dataset.

The dracut code is analogous to the initramfs code and as such
it should be located in the contrib with initramfs for consistency.
