Add support for --- as a user-params separator (for parameters on the
kernel command-line) for parameters to pass on to the installed system.
(LP: #1402042)

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - user-params: Don't propagate vga=*, break=*, *-ubiquity, or
    noninteractive to installed system.
  - list-devices:
    + New "mmc-partition" type for detecting partitions on MMC devices.
    + Make sure we also detect platform-omap MMCs.
    + Don't return entries for extended partitions.
  - Don't include the battery subsystem on calls to udevadm trigger.

* Drop Ubuntu delta to use /proc/self/fd/4 rather than /dev/fd/4 in
  fetch-url-methods/http. udevd reliably creates the /dev/fd symlink
  these days.

  - Use /proc/self/fd/4 rather than /dev/fd/4 in fetch-url-methods/http;
    the latter doesn't seem to exist in d-i.
  - list-devices:
    + New "mmc-partition" type for detecting partitions on MMC devices.
    + Make sure we also detect platform-omap MMCs.
    + Don't return entries for extended partitions.
  - Don't include the battery subsystem on calls to udevadm trigger.
  - log-output: Always install a no-op SIGCHLD handler, in case the
    subsidiary process starts a daemon which does not fully disconnect its
    standard file descriptors.
