Systemless install support #30

Starting with Android M, many root-dependant application insert their files into filesystem by loading them from image, which is picked up by patched boot. This way, it's both easier to wipe root in case it's not needed, and allows for OTA updates, which now check if /system has been remounted even once, and just dump the whole system image instead of per-file upgrade. This means that if one is to tamper with /system, he had to reflash the whole ROM to enable the OTA again. This can be avoided by baking the whole BusyBox and symlinks inside image, and deploying it via Magisk, for example. For reference, both SuperSU (Android 6+, custom systemless scenario) and Xposed (Magisk version) use this, and that's not counting things like SafetyNet bypass, ad blocker, VIPER4Android, and whatever new fad people come up with. So supporting this would be nice.

That seems awesome.

Any updates on this? We could just create a squashfs file and mount it via Magisk module
