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
|

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.

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)

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).

live-build page: list of individual commands outdated (color options not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.

the same is not the case for binary images since although some parts
of the codebase support it, others do not.

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.

it now covers:
- `lb chroot_apt install-binary`
- `lb chroot_archives {chroot|binary|source} {install|remove}`
by expanding usage from:
`lb chroot_prep {install|remove} HELPERS [ARGS]`
to:
`lb chroot_prep {install|remove} HELPERS [MODE[ MODE..]] [ARGS]`
where `[MODE[ MODE..]]` is an optional set of one or more of:
- archives-chroot, which specifies to use 'chroot' as the first param to
the chroot_archives script
- archives-binary, which specifies to use 'binary'
- archives-source, which specifies to use 'source'
- apt-install-binary, which specified to pass 'install-binary' instead of
'install' to chroot_apt
thus _all_ chroot prep scripts can be run through this helper now!
note, in the case of the binary stage, 'archives' is deliberately not added
to CHROOT_PREP_OTHER, this is not a mistake!
Gbp-Dch: Short

rather than explicitly running one helper after another in the major
build stages, or by hand (e.g. while testing things during development),
they can be run in bulk via this new helper. it essentially just takes a
list of helpers to run and runs them one by one.
it supports running all helpers except chroot_archives because that one
has different parameter requirements to the rest and supporting it would
make things messier.
helper scripts can either be named by their full script name or without
the 'chroot_' prefix for brevity. you can also just specify 'all' to
refer to all helpers (except chroot_archives, per above).
it automatically reverses the order of the list when run in remove mode.

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).

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...

8321653cb36511324d576e65cb13b5c9b0c5f438 (from 2007) introduced a hack to
work around bug #445304 in gnu-fdisk for users who may have replaced fdisk
with the classic gnu version. the hack allowed users to select an alternate
fdisk binary to use to work around the buggy binary.
bug #445304 is marked as found in v1.0-1 and fixed in v1.2-1, though may
have been fixe din v1.1. it was marked fixed in 2009.
checking the package archive, gnu-fdisk does not actually exist anymore
in debian, with one exception - it is available for arm64 on sid via
debports, and that version is 1.3 so thus includes the necessary fix
anyway.
it is thus pointless now that we still carry this hack.

Current versions of the project files are built upon versions published
and licensed by Daniel Baumann, but are modified copies of those files and
thus need to be marked as such per licensing requirements (afaik he did
not pass along ownership / licensing rights to anyone when he left the
project). We should also be careful to not be misrepresenting such
modified copies as being attributed to Daniel.
Adding a new copyright line referring to "The Debian Live team" should
suffice for this.
The authorship block in man pages has also similarly been updated.
Notes:
- tweaked a copy of daniel copyright lines stating 2014 instead of 2015.
both of these cases were in files that i had personally introduced in
some of my past merged commits that moved some code around. i don't know
why they stated 2014.
- binary_onie was introduced in 2018, so that has a 2018 date instead of
2016 unlike the rest.
- 'efi-image' is a 3rd-party (Canonical Ltd) work that we bundle, but it
has been modified by 674794a8f4d61a729d2dbd6d99385d2826138694 and
36a3ba76347ef72df1c316312ed3a26aa4b0c816 so I similarly added a
debian live copyright line.
- 'grub-cpmodules' is similar. it was only changed by the indentation fix
of 36a3ba76347ef72df1c316312ed3a26aa4b0c816 but modification is
modification, and this does help cover any possible future changes that
might be made.

`false` and `none` make no sense as choices for this option. Here we
replace `false` with `none`, and remove `true`.
Note that `true` was treated as an alias for netinst (see the changes to
source_disk and and binary_disk).
For backwards compatibility we still allow `true` and `false` by converting
them to `netinst` and `none` respectively, whilst printing a warning to
encourage users to move to `netinst`/`none`.
