1a8d7e3126 syslinux: bump rescue loop device number limit
As proposed by Maxim Suhanov since there are only
7 loop devices available upon bootup which might be
not enough given ro,loop mounts by default.

a2fcc601c9 syslinux: process @rescue_hash@ (forensic mode)
This value is used to authenticate rescue rootfs image
by verifying the squashfs file's sha256sum before use
(propagator-20140419+).

Looks like this check might be useful for other stage2
images as well but let's get started with this one.

Thanks Maxim Suhanov <suhanov/group-ib.ru> for both
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Forensic_Live_CD_issues
and propagator patches.

84a591471c syslinux: fix "forensic" wording
Thanks Maxim Suhanov (suhanov <AT> group-ib.ru,
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/User:.FUF)
for taking the time to review regular-rescue image.

Note that there are more than just filesystems:
arrays, logical volumes and swaps aren't activated either;
startup-rescue >= 0.18 should make that clear enough.

syslinux shortcut handling is case-insensitive,
let's find yet another letter...

8362a7b905 syslinux: add forensics mode
A variant of rescue that marks the need to be careful
towards block devices and filesystems thus reducing
the amount of auto-activation done by startup-rescue
(0.17 or newer).
