the design choice from when EFI support was introduced was to change
`--bootloader` to `--bootloaders`, with users specifying their selection
of BIOS and EFI bootloaders together. at this time there were not even any
decent validation checks being performed, and invalid combinations could
cause some chaos.

since then proper validation was put in place, including checking that
only a single instance of each of BIOS and EFI bootloaders exists in the
selection.

here we tweak things such that we stick with the same option, but we split
the selection up such that we store the BIOS and EFI selections separately
within the saved config file, and offer it up to scripts to help simplify
those scripts.

we must however retain support for splitting from the combined option,
both because we still use it in the combined option, and for backwards
compatibility with older saved configs.

"grub" presumably was what is now called "grub-legacy"

removed both because there is already a proper piece of code adding
bootloader packages.

this was previously not done in 8b109ffb96282a6dd1aa5d61aa935bcba69c56f1
to keep the renaming simple, but leaving the variable plural is a cause
for confusion.

since this property is stored in the INI style config/build config file
rather than a shell script based one, at the property there is already
singular, there was no need for a backwards compatibility hack.

note that the bit of code removed from source_debian relies upon a
variable LB_TASKS which itself is an old leftover artefact from before
v4.0.

two parts of the code worked with both comma and space separated lists,
while two others only worked with comma separated.

swapping out commas with spaces when we setup the var in
Set_config_defaults() means that individual scripts no longer need to worry
about it and everything supports both; and that we can avoid the
IFS/OLDIFS mess.

<title>strip progress-linux distro hacks</title>

progress-linux, as discussed in MR #142 ([1]) is a little known distro,
which appears to be little more than a personal project of the original
author of live-build.

given that, the expense of maintaining all of these old hacks for it
cannot be justified. it is not known whether or not live-build is even
used with respect to it since the author abandoned live-build some
years ago.

also, at least one past change in live-build possibly broke progress-linux
compatibility anyway, which would have required progress-linux users of
live-build to use a custom progress-linux config, or a progress-linux
fork of live-build, and there is no knowing how much of the hacks in this
"upstream" codebase any user of progress-linux currently relies upon.
and again, progress-linux appears to just be a personal project of
Daniel's, with afaik very little userbase. (Daniel seems to be the only
developer working on the project which speaks to how small it is).

this function takes one or more required stage fileS _plural_, and exits
if any are missing (or at least it does now after the refactor).

let's rename it to make things more clear

<title>stagefiles: further robustify with auto filenames</title>

as suggested by Raphaël

rather than have fixed stagefile filename strings at all in the scripts,
use `$(basename $0)` to use the name of the script (which is the same for
almost all cases anyway, and the stage files are supposed to be almost
exclusively unique per-script). we can thus simplify things by determining
the filename for most use cases within the functions themselves.

this does change the file used by a couple of scripts, affecting backwards
compatibility of executing live-build upon an existing partially or fully
completed build:
 - binary_grub-pc used "binary_grub"
 - chroot_includes used "includes.chroot"

care had to be taken for the following cases:
 - there are some cases like bootstrap_cache, source_debian and
   bootstrap_debootstrap which are dealing with more than one file, and/or
   otherwise a filename that is not specific to the script itself exactly,
   or should not be based upon its name.
 - some cases like chroot_cache, bootstrap_cache and
   chroot_install-packages need to append something to the end of the name
   depending upon which pass/action mode the script is being executed with.
 - furthermore in the bootstrap_cache case one of the filenames is used
   within the bootstrap_debootstrap and thus needs very careful handling
   to be certain that a change in filename of bootstrap_cache does not
   break bootstrap_debootstrap.

 - avoid all need to pass ".build/" path in stage file names into the
   functions
 - add a helper to remove a stage file (required to complete the above
   properly)
 - avoid duplicating filenames within scripts which makes them prone to
   mistakes (some instances of which I've actually encountered and had
   to fix)

the chown command needed running within the chroot, since apt-get is being
run within the chroot and _apt might have a different UID there than on
the host.
