Subject: [PATCH 13/10] features: RUNDIR, imgdir, ... [update 2]

[PATCH 13/10] features: RUNDIR, imgdir, ... [update 2]

- don't use cp -t (due to busybox's cp)
- add intermediate link to image's tree, to simplify life in init;
  this allows us to switch whole image tree with single 'ln' manipulation,
  instead of going in loop through all /bin, /sbin, ... symlinks;
  we employ that early (see the next point) and before /run move (to not
  lose access to binaries)
- create $prefix (and $prefix_mnt) early, so everything is de-facto
  started from /run/$prefix
- keep /tmp and /var/tmp inside image tree
- simplify det_lib_paths() - make it essentially the same as before
  an earlier patch, but keep it as a separate function
- add a few comments and corner cases fixups
