make-initrd: create reproducible initrds
To achieve reproducible results, `cpio` archive members are added in sorted order and inodes renumbered. The `cpio-clean.pl` script is made obsolete by setting mtimes via `touch` & using `cpio --reproducible`. Suggested by @dezgeg in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/21273#issuecomment-268116605. Note that using `--reproducible` means that initial ramdisk creation now requires at least `cpio` version 2.12 (released in 2015).
