[arch-releng] [RFC] [PATCH] [archiso] Add support to mount iso in loopback mode.

[Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi]

Add two parameters:

img_dev=/dev/sdNM
   where /dev/sdNM is the device where .iso is located.
img_loop=/path/to/arch.iso
   where /path/to/arch.iso is the full path of the .iso in the device img_dev.

Original idea from Baurzhan Muftakhidinov.
