[arch-projects] [mkinitcpio][PATCH 07/11] init: use util-linux's /bin/mount

[Dave Reisner]

Providing this means we no longer need blkid for FS detection, as mount
will do this for us. Adds a slight bloat to the image, in exchange for a
huge convenience. Messaging is changed to assume that /bin/mount will
provide useful feedback for us on failure.
