Instead, pass the mount location through an environment variable.
The `$clone` directory is already used when figuring out disk space for unmounted partitions, so this could fail on the first run.
This allows using the script multiple times in parallel on different disks. To prevent all these directories littering the filesystem, an exit handler is registered to remove them again when the script exits (also unmounting any mounted filesystems just in case).

This creates a temporary directory for src and dst mounts, rather than hardcoding
/mnt/cloneand/mnt/clone-src. This allows running the script twice in parallel, without conflicts.To prevent littering tons of directories around, automatic cleanup of these directories is added (which has the added advantage of also unmounting and cleaning up when the script is somehow interrupted or fails in an unexpected way).
This also changes the interface to the
rpi-clone-setupscript slightly, since that also used to hardcode this directory name.See commit messages for some more details.
