an official current debian install disc was compared with to achieve
better consistency.
main menu:
- i: for the single "start" entry
advanced submenu:
- g: for the main graphical entry
- i: for the main text-based entry
- x: for the main expert entry
- a: for the main auto entry
- r: for the main rescue entry
- s: for the synth entry
for expert, auto and rescue, the hotkey is given to the graphical entry
where present, otherwise to the text entry.

...for consistency with syslinux config placeholders and improved
clarity of what text is a placeholder.
the old placeholders without the bookends are still replaced for
user configs for backwards compatibility.
the new ones are little used just at the moment but are expected to
become used much more in later commits.

fixes an error I experienced in a test build

...from the `Set_config_defaults` function, to being done directly
in `build.sh` (the component which is also responsible for loading
functions, loaded at the start of every script, including the front
end).
thus the colouring decision will now correctly...
- apply to the frontend, such as to the 'root privileges needed'
error, the 'no such script' error, and the command name
colouring that I want to add (the most significant issue).
- apply to error messages generated by the `Arguments` and
`Read_conffiles` functions, which are called before
`Set_config_defaults` by scripts.
as things were, due to the comparison with "false", colour would
_always_ be used in these places (unless _COLOR_ERR=false or
_COLOR_OUT=false wrt. the new command highlight, were set in the
environment when executing a script throught the frontend).
this would not be a problem for normal terminal use of course,
besides being inconsistent where color were turned off, but would
be a bit of a problem if redirected to a file.
a re-evaluation of _COLOR is performed in `Set_config_defaults` to
adjust _COLOR_OUT and _COLOR_ERR where necessary, to correctly
respond to _COLOR being set in saved config files (disabled by
default but a user could always enable), after the point of config
files being loaded.
_COLOR can still be controlled from the environment just as before,
overriding both _COLOR_OUT and _COLOR_ERR.
note that this does not address the fact that --color|--no-color
do not work in the frontend and thus will not impact the colouring
of to-be-introduced command highlighting. this needs to be
addressed separately.

d-i removed this in commit 0917b2dde3ff73a204d27dd2f2fffc8a41175ddd
Note: There was inconsistency between grub and syslinux in use of this, with
syslinux not having it on graphical rescue and auto modes while grub entries
did. The patch to fix that has been dropped since we're removing it everywhere
anyway.

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).

when the --fdisk and --losetup options were removed, the entries in the
getopt option list should have remained for backwards compatibility such
that the usage warnings can kick in instead of unknown option errors.

if any are missing (or at least it does now after the refactor).

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)

- Ensure correct directory path always used by using replaceable placeholder

all vars affected have been carefully checked to be quite certain
that they are definitely local
where variable is assigned the return value of a function/command, the
local "declaration" is deliberately done on a separate line, since
`local FOO` is actually treated itself as a command rather than a
declaration; will thus always cause $? to be zero, and thus if done on
the same line as such an assignment can not only clobber $? but in doing
so unintentionally blocks failure of a command from triggering the
expected exit from having `set -e`.
also, from testing, i have found that when assigning "${@}" this must be
done on a separate line confusingly as otherwise an error occurs.

The '---' delimiter should appear before the final 'quiet' parameter
(which is used by the debian installer I believe).
This delimiter is added by live-build in syslinux configs, and is present
in both grub2 and syslinux configs in an official debian 7.7 disc image,
suggesting strongly that live-build grub/grub2 menu creation code is in
the wrong here by missing it.
update: this commit previously used -- as was correct at the time, and has
since been updated to use --- per #775128; which was previously tackled in
a separate later commit. the switch to --- was already done for syslinux
(which was not missing the delimiter unlike grub) in
ba6b9adeff634845a9ab7cbd5218257a7aa254ab

I believe that the `quiet` parameter is meant for d-i not the kernel and
thus should be given on the end after a delimiter, as done with syslinux.
Here we switch the order to move it to the end. The addition of the missing
delimiter will be done in a followup commit.
(See #775143)

When building grub2 menu entries the quiet param (meant for d-i)
was excluded from the rescue menu entries instead of expert.
This is the opposite to what is done in the following:
- Menu entries seen in official debian 7.7 disc images (grub2 and syslinux configs)
- Menu entries created for grub (legacy)
- Menu entries created for syslinux
The evidence strongly suggests that the grub2 menu creation was in the wrong!

`DI_PACKAGES` does not need to include `DI_REQ_PACKAGES` so long as
we pass the latter to apt in the one case where it was not already
being given it.
in fact with it including that sub-list meant that in the other
case where it was being given to apt, it actually just resulted in
duplication.
