Message:

• Remove all references to /root/images
• Fix the lack of support for options in mondorestore by copying what is done for mondoarchive and sharing the functions analyzing the cli (getopt usage)
• Review the now common handle_incoming_parameters to have it support correctly 2 modes (archiving and restoring)
• Update mondorestore man page to take in account the options supported now
• Replace mondorestore options --nuke, --interactive, with -Z nuke, -Z interactive ...

+Specify the restore device (CD/tape/USB) or directory (NFS/ISO). For CD-R[W] drives,
+this is the SCSI node where the drive may be found, e.g. '0,1,0'. For tape
+users, this is the tape streamers /dev entry, e.g. '/dev/st0'. For USB users,
