[archiso] Drop aitab support
Always create one filesystem of a fixed size (32G), format (ext4) and know name "airootfs". Simplify logic a lot.

-*** Image types generated by mkarchiso.
-
-* image-name.sfs SquashFS image with all files directly on it.
- [read-only, no dm-snapshot is used]
-* image-name.fs.sfs SquashFS with only one file inside (image-name.fs),
- which is an image of some type of filesystem
- (ext4, ext3, ext2, xfs, btrfs), all files reside on it.
- [read-write, via COW image with dm-snapshot]
-
-
-*** File format for aitab.
-
-The aitab file holds information about the filesystems images that must be
-created by mkarchiso and mounted at initramfs stage from the archiso hook.
-It consists of some fields which define the behaviour of images.
-
-# <img> <mnt> <arch> <sfs_comp> <fs_type> <fs_size>
-
-<img> Image name without extension (.fs .fs.sfs .sfs).
-<mnt> Mount point.
-<arch> Architecture { i686 | x86_64 | any }.
-<sfs_comp> SquashFS compression type { gzip | lzo | xz }.
-<fs_type> Set the filesystem type of the image
- { ext4 | ext3 | ext2 | xfs | btrfs }.
- A special value of "none" denotes no usage of a filesystem.
- In that case all files are pushed directly to SquashFS filesystem.
-<fs_size> An absolute value of file system image size in MiB.
- (example: 100, 1000, 4096, etc)
- A relative value of file system free space [in percent].
- {1%..99%} (example 50%, 10%, 7%).
- This is an estimation, and calculated in a simple way.
- Space used + 10% (estimated for metadata overhead) + desired %

-
-*** Why the /isolinux and /arch/boot/syslinux directories?
-
-The /isolinux directory holds files needed for the ISOLINUX boot loader
-module of SYSLINUX. ISOLINUX can not find config files on
-/arch/boot/syslinux, like other boot loaders modules (SYSLINUX, PXELINUX).
