Support to build image of root file system with /system and ramdisk combined.
Added support to build system.img that combines contents of /system and the ramdisk, and can be mounted at the root of the file system. To enable this feature, define BoardConfig.mk variable: BOARD_BUILD_SYSTEM_ROOT_IMAGE := true Ideally we would just change TARGET_OUT (the path of the staging system directory) to under TARGET_ROOT_OUT. But at this point many places in the build system assume TARGET_OUT is independent of TARGET_ROOT_OUT and we can't make it easily configurable. Instead this implementation takes the least intrusive approach: We don't change TARGET_OUT or TARGET_ROOT_OUT. We just assemble a temporary staging directory that contains contents of both TARGET_OUT and TARGET_ROOT_OUT, in build_image.BuildImage() of tools/releasetools/build_image.py. When build_image.py is directly called from the makefile, we pass in the parameters from the global dictionary; when build_image.BuildImage() is called from add_img_to_target_files.py, we need to override values to point to files extracted from the target_files zip file. We need to combine the fs_config files of both /system and ramdisk, when fs_config is enabled. Also this change refactored build_image.BuildImage() by moving the extra parameters to the image property dictionary.
