build: Use overlayfs instead of unionfs.
Overlayfs is part of the kernel, while unionfs needs FUSE. This also reduces the size of the initrd by ca. 4.3% (487K). * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (mount-root-file-system): Remove optional parameter "unionfs"; mount using overlayfs instead of unionfs; new directory layout requied by overlayfs; update documentation. [mark-as-not-killable]: Remove now unused function * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (file-system-packages): Remove now unused packages "unionfs-fuse/static" and thus unused related 'if'. (linux-modules): Replace "fuse" by "overlay".
