Simplification of the Full Disk Encryption installation.

Less steps.
Unification of the initrd systems dracut and mkinitcpio.
With encrypted swap.

Split in two guides for BIOS und UEFI systems.
More details for both systems.
No more exceptions.

Tested with 32 Bit und 64 Bit.

Less steps.

Debatable.

With encrypted swap.

It had encrypted swap before, but now its much less flexible with the removal of LVM.

Split in two guides for BIOS und UEFI systems.

This will introduce a lot of redundancy in the guide, since there were only a few steps that differ between BIOS and UEFI systems.

Lastly, please make sure you follow the contribution guide and ensure your commits follow the guidelines.

As I explained in IRC, the removal of LVM reduces flexibility and actually increases complexity and fragility (you put two LUKS volumes on separate partitions of the same disk, which complicates key management for no benefit). These changes are not advisable in general-purpose instructions.
