libinstaller: Add --mbr, --active, and --force options
In order to consolidate the installer option-parsing system, we add the --mbr (-m), --active (-a), and --force (-f) options from the DOS, Win32, and mtools installers to libinstaller. Since the -m and -a options are not currently valid for the Linux 'syslinux' and 'extlinux' installers, we add error messages to both of these. The -f option is allowed but does nothing for them.
