Bug#495042: debian-installer: add iscsi root installation

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf <rrs@researchut.com>]

Package: libdebian-installer4
Version: 0.58
Severity: wishlist
File: debian-installer

Add iscsi root installation feature to debian installer. Later, once FCoE initiators are available, we might need one for that too. So there could be much common code for it. As an add-on, add multipathed installation too.

There could be two approached to it.
1) Pass arguments to the installer at boot. - Like SLES
2) Add an option in Storage Window - Like Red Hat
