ISO9660 support. The iso9660 volume label only supports uppercase letters and underscore. While I was at it I removed the "-image" suffix because it's an implementation detail and it's really not an image once it's burned to a real CD / written to a real USB stick etc. Then I removed the "-disk" suffix because volume labels are not on a disk but on individual partitions. Then it was just "gnu" and I thought that was too generic. So here we are :-)
