Move modification logic from build.sh into cdupdate.sh include all files directly instead. This removes need for squashfs rebuild and becomes quicker and cleaner Developed here while doing tests for NiKiZe/Gentoo-iPXE#6

Move modification logic from build.sh into cdupdate.sh Include files via cpio instead, cdupdate.sh will see to correct modification. This removes need for squashfs rebuild, which in turn removes need for sudo. This is much quicker and cleaner Relates to ASoft-se/Gentoo-HAI#8 and NiKiZe/Gentoo-iPXE#6 and

So create a cpio directory structure, add basic cdupdate.sh and folders for possible data with .keep files local.d for x.start files Make sure all this can support Gentoo-HAI testing. |

Often customizations is wanted to pxe booted machines, such as init scripts, or config files (public ssh keys)
It would be nice to have this without need for squashfs rebuilds, maybe that is possible already, but could do with documentation if it is.
And if not we want to be able to transfer files from initrd root (which can be modified by appending to cpio) to the "realroot" (new root when switching to squashfs)
This is in part in reference to numberly/gentoo-pxe-builder#5
Another usecase is the mess at https://github.com/ASoft-se/Gentoo-HAI/blob/master/gentoocd_unpack.sh#L68-L72
