That way we can directly build an image onto a usb stick/sd card without a separate step.
Also, add mounting of /sys into the chroot that is needed by build_gpt on a block device.

Remove the temporary rootfs.image file and others that are left by build_image and related scripts. Also added tool to emit scripts that can pack and unpack the combined disk image.

This changes the disk image for both USB keys and hard-drive installs to use
the EFI GUID Partition Tables. This is a prequisite for booting with an EFI
BIOS. This change does not use the EFI Boot protocol; it still boots using
Legacy BIOS. The PMBR contains syslinux' gptmbr.bin, which searches the GPT
for a specified partition's GUID to boot.
I've tested it on my EeePC. The USB image works, chromeos-install works, and
the reimaged hard drive works. I have not yet tested the memento_updater.sh
script, but I wanted to start the review without waiting until it's all perfect.
I will also be refactoring build_gpt.sh and chromeos-install to share common
logic.
It's almost certain that all existing dogfood machines will need to be
reimaged from a USB key. We could probably figure out a way to upgrade
automatically, but not quickly or without risk.
In addition to the GPT formatting, the build_image script has changed to
emit a single usb.bin file. This can be copied directly onto a USB key and
booted. Installation of dev tools needs to happen with build_image, not
image_to_usb. I have not yet looked at the other image_to_* scripts.
