Amend Dracut module to export ZFS root on shutdown

Make use of Dracut's ability to restore the initramfs on shutdown and pivot to it, allowing for a clean unmount and export of the ZFS root. No need to force-import on every reboot anymore.

+`export-zfs.sh`
+-------------
+
+Normally the zpool containing the root dataset cannot be exported on
+shutdown as it is still in use by the init process. To work around this,
+Dracut is able to restore the initramfs on shutdown and pivot to it.
+All remaining process are then running from a ramdisk, allowing for a
+clean unmount and export of the ZFS root. The theory of operation is
+described in detail in the [Dracut manual](https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html#_dracut_on_shutdown).
+
+This script will try to export all remaining zpools after Dracut has
+pivoted to the initramfs. If an initial regular export is not successful,
+Dracut will call this script once more with the `final` option,
+in which case a forceful export is attempted.
+
+Other Dracut modules include similar shutdown scripts and Dracut
+invokes these scripts round-robin until they succeed. In particular,
+the `90dm` module installs a script which tries to close and remove
+all device mapper targets. Thus, if there are ZVOLs containing
+dm-crypt volumes or if the zpool itself is backed by a dm-crypt
+volume, the shutdown scripts will try to untangle this.
