Create directories and copy files to the FAT image using mtools instead of mounting the file system

- mtools supports SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. - The image file is operated on directly instead of mounting the file system. This is a prerequisite to limit the commands that run with root privileges. Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/40 . - Add a reminder comment to not get rid of the dosfstools dependency, since a mformat made FAT image can fail to boot on some systems.
