Create initrd-root-device.target synchronization point (#3239)
Add a synchronization point so that custom initramfs units can run after the root device becomes available, before it is fsck'd and mounted. This is useful for custom initramfs units that may modify the root disk partition table, where the root device is not known in advance (it's dynamically selected by the generators).
