[arch-releng] [PATCH] Ust zsh as default interactive shell

This installs zsh and sets it as default for root and the arch user.
grml-zsh-config is installed as a userfriendly default configuration.

This might look controversial, so let me explain. As our new install method is based on the usage of various cli tools our plain ash setup gets a little inconvinient. This patch adds zsh and a feature rich default config. We will get menu based completion and inline help for e.g. pacman but also our install scripts, rc.d and a lot of other tools. This should make the iso easier to use and more accessable.

I haven't found any real downside here, so let me know if you can think of any. Also please try it first if you haven't yet. E.g. try things like pacstrap -<tab> etc..

If there are no major concerns I would suggest we try this for at least one release. With our monthly releases we can simply revert this for the next one if user feedback is all negative.
