[make-initrd] Release make-initrd 2.8.0

New release 2.8.0 is available.

This release is notable for very large refactoring:

- The build system is completely rewritten. Now autoconf is used.

- Most features do not create their own special targets, which reduced
  dependencies and increased speed.

- Most features do not indicate specific paths to utilities, which
  increases portability.

- The user can no longer reset PUT_DIRS / PUT_FILES and thereby break
  the image.

- The image includes drivers for all devices added to BtrFS.

- Removed many altlinux-specific stuff (`getconf SLIB`, udevd placement, etc.).
