    Release 20200412.

mkbckp:
* Added isofs (usually mkisofs/xorrisofs) and isofs_flags variable.

  commas.
* -I: specify a custom volid (mkisofs/xorrisofs).

  a proper value. In case -V is not part of isofs_flags, it will
  be appended; mkbckp aborts in case -V has been specified
  multiple times.

  anymore. Instead, only slashes and spaces will be replaced using
  underscores, and the leading dot removed, in case it exists.
