The cpio_init function is now only every called with the "discard" option. But, moreover, what it does is create an initial mostly empty archive which will just get overwritten by the final archive. So, it's entirely unnecessary except for one subtlety. Our use of realpath when generating the final output requires that a file already exist in the output location. We can fix that by shuffling some things out of a subshell, removing the need for realpath. This removes functionality to modify an existing initramfs image. However that was already broken in a several ways. Just remove it, and update the help messages to match.
