1. cli: support the stateroot option also on switch …

   # Background
   
   <hash> added the `stateroot` option to the `install` subcommand
   
   # Issue
   
   The `stateroot` option is not available on the `switch` subcommand
   
   # Solution
   
   Add the `stateroot` option to the `switch` subcommand
   
   # Implementation
   
   * If the stateroot is different than the current, we should allow using
     the same image as the currently booted one
   
   * Stateroot has to be explicitly created (`init_osname` binding) if it
     doesn't exist. If it does, we still call `init_osname` and simply
     ignore the error (TODO: only ignore non-already-exists errors)
   
   * Copy `/var` from the old stateroot to the new one. I'm doing `--reflink`
     but it's still very slow
   
   * Must use the old stateroot to find the `merge_deployment` because
     otherwise we boot without the required kargs (it manifested as a
     missing `root=UUID=...` which caused the dracut rootfs-generator to
     silently fail to create `sysroot.mount` and so `ostree-prepare-root`
     failed due to empty `/sysroot`)
