dracut: Enable automatic assembly of any RAID/LVM devices

  This has changed in dracut 24 and we have used various hacks to enable
this behaviour again when it would have been so easy to just enable this
parameter.

Please do not merge this yet.

This will have to go into c168, but I am not entirely sure what side-effects it might have for those people who have been running their systems on c167 and did a reboot.

Hello Michael,

thanks for your mail, which I unfortunately noticed too late.

So, we have this patch in "next" for the time being, which I consider acceptable, since
it will not reach anybody aside people running IPFire from the "unstable" tree - which
is just as the name implies.

Feel free to revert the patch in "next" at your discretion. I do, however, not consider
it overly problematic to stay there. :-)

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller

Indeed this change will only affect new installations from next and not change any existing ones.

Not right now, but there is more required to make this work. I will need some time to find out how to do this and until then this sadly will have to block the release:

See my latest comment here: https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12862#c37
