This patch lays the selection of the used storage target into the hands
of the config/manager file. By default, Sculpt selects the target by its
built-in heuristics, probing for a Sculpt partition. However, by
specifying a <target> node, one can explicitly select a storage target.
E.g., for using the 2nd partition of the SATA disk connected to port 1
of the AHCI controller, one can now specify:
<target driver="ahci" port="1" partition="2"/>
For selecting the ram_fs as target:
<target driver="ram_fs"/>
The latter case is particularly useful for custom Sculpt scenarios
deployed entirely from RAM. For such scenarios, add two lines to
your .sculpt file:
ram_fs: depot
manager: use_ram_fs
The first line configures the ram_fs such that the depot is mounted
as a tar archive. The second line configures the sculpt manager to
select the ram_fs as storage target. You can find this feature
exemplified in default-linux.sculpt scenario.
build/x86_64$ make run/sculpt_test KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux
It is worth noting that the configuration can be changed at runtime.
This allows for switching between different storage targets on the fly.

The new 'manager' config allows for the passing of configuration data the
sculpt manager without the need to modify the config/leitzentrale subsystem.
