mkarchiso: copy files to ext4 image using mkfs.ext4's -d option instead of mounting the file system

mkfs.ext4 with its -d option can "copy the contents of the given directory into the root directory of the filesystem". This allows to get rid of the last directly used mount and umount commands in mkarchiso. Additionally try to make the ext4 image somewhat reproducible by setting E2FSPROGS_FAKE_TIME to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, clearing the UUID and using a reproducible hash seed. See https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/commit/?id=e1f7100643a46456be107b33098f6034b0835e6d . Place mkfs.ext4 options in an array to avoid duplicating the command. Related to #40.
