2020-05-04rename binary_loopback_cfg to binary_grub_cfgLyndon Brown
when loopback support was introduced, it initially duplicated the code for generating a grub2 config, before the duplicated code was removed from the grub-pc script, effectively thus moving grub config generation to the loopback feature script. grub-efi support was added after this. this results in a misleading filename, since the `binary_loopback_cfg` script is essential for use of grub-pc|grub-efi, and actually only has a single line of code on top that's needed for adding actual loopback support on top. (when grub-pc and grub-efi are not used, the entire script is still needed for loopback support to work). so here we rename it to make better sense, and correct/clarify bits of documentation.

2020-05-03config: provide UTC timestamp controlLyndon Brown
`DATE_UTC_OPTION` is set in `Prepare_config()` for use by scripts, even though only a few scripts will actually use it, since it allows those scripts to be cleaner. we may want to possibly extend this as a `DATE_OPTIONS` variable perhaps as part of enabling proper reproduciblity. Gbp-Dch: Short

2020-05-01config: remove junk config loading codeLyndon Brown
support for this has not existed since v2.0~a24-1 !! until 4d22ca948ad3def3f98fd89d32bf2ba8209460fd (v2.0~a24-1), `PROGRAM` was defined as `PROGRAM="$(basename ${0})"`. then this commit simply got rid of the definition. it then flipped back and forth a bit in a few ways, but always sticking to a simple fixed "live-build" type string after that commit, as it has been ever since. the code removed here has thus been junk since then, and the documentation corrected here out of date since then. the checking of `LB_CONFIG` is also possibly junk, but i know too little about it. it was introduced in v1.0~a43-1 in commit 705a4178e75ffc190acf2fa914a6cd1519fdae87 with a changelog entry of "Centraly evaluate LH_CONFIG for custom configuration file."

2020-04-23config: revert partial format conversionLyndon Brown
back in v4.0~a6-1 a transition process was started to move the live-build config to a new format. the new format was INI style, and required parsing functions to read/write values, compared to the existing format which was just shell script code setting variables. this partial transition is the explanation for the existence of the `New_configuration()` function, and understanding this is important to understanding the purpose of it - it is not in fact intended for creating a new configuration, it is just related to the new config format transition. the positives of the new format were that it was somewhat cleaner looking, while the negative was the terrible relative efficiency. the file `config/build` was created to hold options in this new format. the transition was only ever completed for a handful of config options: - architecture - archive areas and parent archive areas - live image name - live image type a 'configuration version' attribute was also saved, which is not used by anything. the bootstrap-mirror and parent-bootstrap-mirror attributes are pointlessly stored in it seemingly resulting from work done in v4.0~a17-1. (they are also stored in another config file from which the value is actually used). it in fact seems to have been a source of confusion for Raphaël in authoring 44b9b0a6501476de594ce3783cea5df0c141478c, since the new `[parent]-distribution-{chroot|binary}` options it introduced were stored both in `config/bootstrap` and in `config/build`, while only used from the former. i expect, understandably, that he thought that `config/build` was just an information file.

2020-04-23config: obsolete old --tasksel optionLyndon Brown
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. Gbp-Dch: Short

--net-root-path probably needs to go too, but it is being used for something i don't fully understand currently. Gbp-Dch: Short

2020-04-23config: obsolete unused --isohybrid-options optionLyndon Brown
2020-04-23config: apt-get should probably be an allowed and documented --apt valueLyndon Brown
since everywhere where 'apt' is a permitted value, 'apt-get' is also, it just wasn't listed in the option's documentation and thus was also not listed in the new validation check. Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23config: add --validate optionLyndon Brown
running `lb config --validate` causes the script to stop after running the validation check on the config compiled at that point, prior to writing the config to disk. this gives users the ability to check the validity of a config without modifying or rewriting the saved config. note that if users provide new config options alongside --validate, these are taken into account in the check performed. the 'check complete' message will not be seen if an error is reported by the check function, while it will be seen if only warnings are given, but it would require a redesign of the validation check function to make any improvement in that area, and it's perhaps not worth it.

2020-04-23--binary-images can support only a single typeLyndon Brown
whilst some parts of the codebase were set up to work with multiple types specified, others did not work with it and would not necessarily be easy to adjust. this thus makes some tweaks to adjust things accordingly. - option renamed to singular form (maintaining backwards compatibility) - a validation check has been added - unnecessary glob style type references fixed - checks with In_list changed to a direct singular comparison - typo of type "netboot" written as just "net" fixed (though unreachable so of no consequence; really the code could be removed but it's trivial) Gbp-Dch: Short

2020-04-23fix incorrect handling of -c|--conffileLyndon Brown
this option actually only has an impact when used for `lb config`; it thus was incorrectly accepted and captured by Arguments() and the documentation was wrong. going back through git history, this has been incorrect since the v0.99 days. also, reorganised the list alphabetically (no-color was inserted in the wrong place). Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23manpages: fixup synopsisLyndon Brown
live-build page: list of individual commands outdated (color options not added); incorrect (conffile is `lb config` specific as to be addressed otherwise separately); is unnecessary here; and the synopsis suggests usage without a command (e.g. `lb --help` is wrong when it is not). lb: consistensy fix in formatting. all: placeholders should be in capitals for consistency; "OPTIONS" is better the "live-build options" as a placeholder. config: unlike the others where "live-build options" is replaced with "OPTIONS", it makes more sense to specifically list the info (help; usage; version} options, since below the full list of other options including other generic options are given.

2020-04-23bootloaders: improve bootloader list handlingLyndon Brown
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. Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23manpages: fix mistakeLyndon Brown
the bootloader list should be comma separated not space. i do not know what possessed me to write space based in aed4e0fef2b87e20ea13ea86d36b9b12ac23426d. fix "booloader" typo while at it. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
