Joachim Wiberg eb913e8bf2 initramfs: fix Coverity defects
Check return value of remove() in delete_cb() and log failures via
dbg(), CID 909395

Replace stat() calls with open(O_DIRECTORY)+ fstat() for newroot and "/"
checks.  Eliminates the check-then-use race and lets O_DIRECTORY do the
isdir validation atomically, CID 909394

Drop the explicit close(0/1/2) before opening /dev/console.  dup2()
closes the old targets itself, so open() returns a fd > STDERR_FILENO
that can always be closed unconditionally, removing the conditional
guard, CID 909393

Aaron Andersen 8e7d1b7bb5 Refactor: drop do_ prefix from iterate_proc() and switch_root()
The do_ prefix is conventionally reserved for local helper functions.
Move switch_root() declaration to private.h alongside iterate_proc()
and remove the now-empty initramfs.h header.

Aaron Andersen 373738f3d1 Implement switch_root functionality allowing Finit to serve as the init
in an initramfs, then transition to the real root filesystem.  Useful
for systems requiring early boot tasks like LUKS unlock, LVM activation,
or network boot before mounting the real root.

Adds INIT_CMD_SWITCH_ROOT API command, `initctl switch-root` subcommand,
and HOOK_SWITCH_ROOT plugin hook point.  The implementation gracefully
stops services, moves virtual filesystems (/dev, /proc, /sys, /run) to
the new root, deletes initramfs contents to free memory, then execs the
new init as PID 1.

See GitHub Discussion #292 for background.
