Most Chinese devices (and supposedly Galaxy S10) running Android Pie
is using system-as-root without A/B partition.

According to the docs above, these devices will have a ramdisk block
with size 0 in their boot images. Since magiskinit can run independently
on system-as-root devices, we simply just create an empty ramdisk with
magiskinit added as init.
Huge thanks to @vvb2060 for the heads up and original PR.

Since we switched to imageless Magisk, module files are directly
stored in /data. However, /data is mounted with nosuid, which also
prevents SELinux typetransition to work (auto transition from one
domain to another when executing files with specific context).
This could cause serious issues when we are replacing system critical
components (e.g. app_process for Xposed), because most of them
are daemons that run in special process domains.
This commit introduced /data mirror. Using similar mirroring technique
we used for system and vendor, we mount another mirror that mounts
/data without nosuid flag. All module files are then mounted from this
mirror mountpoint instead of directly from /data.

Reinstalling system apps as data creates tons of issues.
Calling pm path <pkg> is extremely expensive and doesn't work in post-fs-data.
Parse through packages.xml to get APK path and UID at the same time.
As a bonus, we don't need to traverse /data/app for packages anymore.
