for bootstrap, the check is moved to the case statement for greater
robustness, and for consistency with other scripts.

...alongside printing usage (which is perhaps unnecessary), so that it is
actually clear to users that a problem occurred, and what.

- it's only used by the debootstrap script after alternatives were dropped
long ago, so let's move it, avoiding it being loaded for everything
else.
- there's no need to pass printing another message through it.
- there's little point in making the sid distinction if you happen to
decide to build sid, it's a given that it's less stable than stable.
really, is there any need for this at all?

in tweaking a previous commit to remove some excessive change before
submission, i mistakenly identified the part of the sed replacement
restored here as being unnecessary to its functionality, but in fact it is.
without it the placeholder is not actually removed.
the lack of removal of the placeholder meant that you ended up with
duplicate copies of the live menu entries.

more fitting now that we've moved the advanced installer entries
out to a different submenu, leaving just memtest (and HDT on
syslinux).
the advanced.cfg file is also renamed to utilities.cfg in the syslinux
case, but in a backwards compatible way of moving the user advanced.cfg
file over the new one, if the user provides a file with the old name.
alternatively we could just leave the old name in place, but that would be
a little odd.

This is considered to be more robust.
Two instances remain:
scripts/build/chroot_archives, line 257:
if [ "${LB_APT}" = "aptitude" ] && [ ! $(Chroot chroot "which aptitude") ]
The command is run inside a chroot where the environment might be special,
and would need further testing.
manpages/Makefile, line 42:
@if [ ! -x "$$(which po4a 2>/dev/null)" ]; \
I am insufficiently familiar with makefile syntax to edit this.

instead of cramming the live entries into a string via a layer of functions
for terminating entries with newlines, which we then have to run through
perl to tweak the newlines for correct use with sed... let's write the
entries to a temp file, then use that file in the sed replacement.
the helper functions injecting newlines to the end of entries as they were
built into a long string have obviously become unnecessary and so were
removed. one function was renamed for reasons of consistency and clarity.
the file is initially deleted before use for reasons of wanting to bullet
proof the codebase to work properly under conditions of recovering from
failure/cancellation, `--force` re-running and such.
this removes the last use of perl.

it reported: "possible bashism in scripts/build/binary_loopback_cfg line 284 (should be '.', not 'source')"
which is clearly a misidentification.

robustification is required to not just `--force` but recovery from failure
or user cancellation.

partly lost in some adjustments that were made to the submitted work,
which was focused on restoring the 'start installer' entry.
there is no need for dynamic setting of these two `source` imports in the
default file, in fact user modifications should also use the fixed import
commands in future.
note that the old placeholders however remain replaced, which inject
precisely this string, for backwards compatibility.

during testing i encountered an unexpected error resulting from the
following condition:
- bootstrap was cached
- cache of bootstrap packages was empty (from playing with `lb clean`)
- installer was not none|live
everything works fine up until the main installer script, which comes to
an abrupt halt with an error due to the missing cached bootstrap packages
that it wants to copy.
this situation is easy to unintentionally create, as i managed to do.
here we catch the failure condition, correcting for it.
this is done by checking for the missing cached packages when restoring
the bootstrap from the cache, and skipping this if the packages were
missing, thus forcing the bootstrap to be rebuilt. the packages should
then be found within the cache, allowing the installer stage to complete
successfully.
of course the bootstrap stage will only cache the packages if caching is
enabled, but if caching is disabled and installer enabled, the config
validation will catch that, reporting that problem.

install mode was silent when selinux was not enabled, whilst remove mode
always output a "Begin unmounting..." message. this makes both modes silent
when selinux is not enabled.
this also happens to fix an unintended side effect of
d79c96232b40fb082233c97ac8d4f75b821ecefe whereby a warning subsequently
was always emitted in remove mode when selinux was not in use, which was
not ideal.

The unconditional SVG to PNG conversion could overwrite a splash.png
provided by the user. Ensure we don't overwrite such a file. But we
still remove the SVG file as syslinux is not able to make use of it.
|
|
We do provide a splash.svg by default so the check will always return
true unless the user has forked live-build... thus the check is
pointless.

there are several files of which identical duplicate copies are held in:
- share/bootloaders/extlinux
- share/bootloaders/pxelinux
- share/bootloaders/isolinux
- share/bootloaders/syslinux
it is a pain to maintain this from a development standpoint, having to
copy modified config files into the other directories each time changes
are made and mistakes have been made before due to this.
this creates a new folder share/bootloaders/syslinux_common and moves them
to this new directory.
it also expands the binary_syslinux stage to use it, with it now
constructing the installed set of bootloader files as follows:
1. copy {LB_DIR}/bootloaders/syslinux_common
2. copy {LB_DIR}/bootloaders/{syslinux|isolinux|extlinux|pxelinux} on top
3. copy config/bootloaders/syslinux_common on top
4. copy config/bootloaders/{syslinux|isolinux|extlinux|pxelinux} on top
note, to explain part of the binary_syslinux change, instead of just
copying the correct bootloader folder full of the files, we now make the
target bootloader specific directory, then copy the contents of source
directories into it.

Due to this mistake, the helpers were not called in reverse order
during the removal step. This lead to things like "apt update" failing
because a broken /etc/resolv.conf has been restored before the call
to "chroot_archives remove".

introduced by an issue with the implementation of
91d446d93ed717b1082bb646fbef65cd1cbc25f5
the introduced of that commit caused builds to fail doing `apt-get update`
or downloading packages and such.
this tweak fixes the problem.

just as most scripts are skipped if their stagefile exists (indicating
that they have already been run to completion), including chroot
preparation scripts in install mode, this implements the same guard for
chroot prep remove mode, such that they exit early if their stagefile
does not exist, indicating that the modification has already been removed.
(also override-able by --force in the same way).
this basically just uses a tweaked copy of Check_stagefile().

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.

the grub-pc image creation code has no business being in binary_iso, it
should be in binary_grub-pc.
it should be noted that the binary_iso script did not even have the
necessary package check for grub-mkimage, while binary_grub-pc did have
it, pointlessly.

live-build might be run from a local folder rather than the system
installation, so the dpkg version number should not override the version
picked up from VERSION
if we care about the possibility of the installed package version
potentially differing from the version of the git checkout, or
whatever, then this should be printed alongside it, as now done.

thus it can correctly indicate success/fail status instead of always
indicating failure. when a user asks for usage with -u|--usage then we
should exit in success mode rather than failure as when usage in printed
in response to incorrect usage.

this means that the usage goes from:
lb {-h|--help|-u|--usage|-v|--version}
lb COMMAND [OPTIONS]
to:
lb {-h|--help|-u|--usage|-v|--version}
lb [FRONTEND_OPTIONS] COMMAND [COMMAND_OPTIONS]
though it is probably not worth is to update the description in the
manpages...? hmm...
so for instance this matters for color control with --color|--no-color
(you already had full control via environment vars). previously you could
do `lb COMMAND --no-color` to turn off colour, only to find that output
at the frontend level was still coloured (the option is processed at the
command context level, not the frontend), so you might try to instead use
`lb --no-color COMMAND`, only to find that this was not supported. Well
now it is, and used at the frontend level will fully control colour output
(after the command is processed anyway).
the full set of common options are thus available (except --force) at the
frontend level, and thus for instance all Echo_*() helpers used in the
frontend will work correctly after args are processed.
furthermore usage like `lb --color --help` will actually work. (not that
color is used there, but this previously would have failed with the
frontend treating the `--color` argument as the command; that's the point!)

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.
