Implemented a persistence exclude list.
* This finally enables one of the most requested feature to exclude
things like disk caches and temporary files from the persistence
images in order to speed things up and saves precious writes of flash
based storages.
This works at boot by bind mounting tmpfs clones of paths listed on
"/etc/live-persistence.binds".
