17355c3911 fix(preinit): scan multiple times the cmdline and rename altroot in rootalt
The way the parsing works is examining one character at a time.

First, if we had `rootfstype=... root=...`, the parsing would jump and
ignore `root=...`, which sucks.

To fix this, we scan multiple times a copy of the cmdline.

Now, we have a new problem: `root=... altroot=...` lead to opts.device
being equal to the altroot as we are looking one char at a time, so we
will arrive at a moment looking at `root=...` for `altroot=...`.

To avoid this, we rename `altroot` in `rootalt`, cheap, I know.

afb14d844b feat(preinit): support alternative roots
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.
