Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 08/22] bootconfig: init: Allow admin to use bootconfig for init command line

Since the current kernel command line is too short to describe
long and many options for init (e.g. systemd command line options),
this allows admin to use boot config for init command line.

All init command line under "init." keywords will be passed to
init.

For example,

init.systemd {
	unified_cgroup_hierarchy = 1
	debug_shell
	default_timeout_start_sec = 60
}
