feat(preinit): support alternative roots

Browse source 
In A/B schemas, it is possible to have multiple rootfs.

Thus, it is necessary to let the B kernel preinitialize either the A
rootfs or the B rootfs failing to mount the A rootfs.

Ideally, we should also try to switch to the B rootfs if we cannot start
up the init on the A rootfs, but that's a FUTUREWORK.
