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)

Combine the check+create done in each script. (The original functions
are still callable as before, but a new combined `Aquire_lockfile`
function can be called instead, as now used).

Note, a further simplification could be done in removing the passing of
the lock filename in as a parameter since every use of the functions is
with ".lock". The lock functions already have a fallback to ".build/lock"
though. Checking the history, the fallback used to be for a system wide
lock, which was then replaced with this config-tree specific one. As long
as that is not used implicitly by 3rd-party hooks then surely we are free
to change the fallback to ".lock" and further remove passing in a name as
a param...?

<title>remove obsolete loop-aes-utils related losetup hack</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1e0339a4e36f85f468ecbdc21c645541f51e5e56</id>
<content type='text'>
677415f6d7efc1e5b888570d70af311d2900c69c (2007) in v1.0~a2-1 added a hack
relating to the loop-aes-utils package and losetup. this commit bundled
a bunch of changes, it was not specific to the hack, and so info about the
hack is limited to a brief comment included within the related change in
defaults:
```
# Workaround for loop-aes-utils divertion
# (loop-aes-utils' losetup lacks features).
```
though it is very similar to the removed fdisk hack in that it seems that
one package may replace a binary from another, moving the original to a
new location, and this hack gives the user the opportunity to select the
original instead of the one put in its place, for use in LB.

the comment mentions a package called loop-aes-utils as being the package
that performs such a diversion, and that the need for the hack was that
losetup itself lacked features, presumably encryption support, and it is
clear that it is the losetup binary that is the focus of the diversion.

looking into the history of loop-aes-utils a little, this package was
dropped from debian back in 2012 (#680748), favouring encrytion support of
dm-crypt/cryptsetup.

double checking file contents of packages, only the mount package carries
an /sbin/losetup file, so presumably this means that dm-setup/cryptsetup
do not perform such a diversion of losetup (i.e. their use is exclusively
done directly).

since the possible diversion is simply gone, that completely removes any
point in having the hack of giving users choice between losetup and the
diverted one. so let's remove this obsolete hack...
