This adds an additional format to kmod static-nodes, which writes
output as shell commands, e.g.:

  mknod '/dev/btrfs-control' c 10 234
  mknod '/dev/loop-control' c 10 237
  mkdir -m 755 -p '/dev/net'
  mknod '/dev/net/tun' c 10 200

Consumers of this format can simply pipe the output to a shell,
creating the necessary static nodes. This could be useful for an
initramfs which doesn't have systemd-tmpfiles but which still relies on
static node creation which recent udev will no longer handle.

I got a similar request from Harald (CC'ed), but instead to create the
nodes ourselves.

The way you did fits better with the current purpose of the
static-nodes, but I'm ok with creating the nodes ourselves, too.


Harald, would this work for you as well?
