generic: add CONFIG_MANGLE_BOOTARGS and disable it by default
Enabling this option renames the bootloader supplied root= and rootfstype= variables, which might have to be know but would break the automatisms OpenWrt uses. Signed-off-by: Imre Kaloz <kaloz@openwrt.org> git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@45196 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73
