copy_binaries: utility function to pick up a binary and needed libs

The existing multipath functionality manually picks up a binary and lots
of needed libraries manually, and sometimes misses libraries if the
binary was linked against something else.

Use lddtree from app-misc/pax-utils to get all libraries with the
binary. The only ones that will be missed are those that are dlopen()ed.
cpio is used for copying to preserve directory structure.

lddtree usage replaces a larger manual function from calling ldd, that
was also vulnerable to injections.

Implement --[no-]compress-initramfs option to complement --[no-]integrated-initramfs

When using an integrated initramfs (including in kernel during build),
it's better NOT to compress the initramfs, as the kernel build process
will then be re-compressing it. This can provide space savings on disk
as well as potential time & memory savings (one less decompress pass is
needed before the kernel can use the initramfs).

This functionality was previously available in the undocumented
COMPRESS_INITRD variable.
