    tests: Test unmkinitramfs with 3cpio, default cpio, and Busybox
    
    unmkinitramfs is supposed to work with both 3cpio and the default cpio
    implementation (GNU or uutils), and now also with Busybox.  However
    the test case does not verify this; it only covers whichever
    implementation unmkinitramfs uses by default.
    
    - Add 3cpio, busybox, and cpio to the test dependencies
    
    - Change the test to test with each of the 3 implementations (or 2 if
      3cpio is not available) by modifying $PATH

    tests: Always use 3cpio to create images in unmkinitramfs
    
    3cpio is available on all release architectures, so we can
    unconditionally use it in this test case.

    unmkinitramfs: Make it compatible with Busybox cpio
    
    The miniramfs project creates smaller first-stage initramfs images
    that chain into the initramfs images created with initramfs-tools.  It
    uses Busybox cpio to unpack the second initramfs, which stopped
    working entirely since we split the contents across an uncompressed
    and compressed cpio archive.
    
    miniramfs would benefit from being able to run unmkinitramfs, but
    currently that doesn't work due to the use of GNU cpio options that
    Busybox cpio doesn't implement.  Fix that:
    
    --preserve-modification-time:
        Equivalent to -m, which Busybox cpio does support.  Use the
        short option instead.
    
    --no-absolute-filenames:
        Cannot be replaced.  Add a --trusted-image option to unmkinitramfs
        which disables passing this option to cpio.  Also disable it when
        listing.
    
    -D: Replace with a chdir() call before execve()'ing cpio.
    
    --list:
        Equivalent to -t, which Busybox cpio does support.  Use the
        short option instead.
