mkarchiso: touch clock-epoch for extra hint on date and time
See merge request https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/merge_requests/281
While it feels dirty to place files in /usr/lib/, since it is the package manager's teritory, the path is unfortunately hardcoded.

Building inside a TCG accelerated qemu VM is slow and painful, but it is
the only option when running in a non-privileged container.
arch-boxes has been built inside a KVM accelerated VMs ("VM runner") for
over 11 months[2] and recently the MR[1] was merged into the
infrastructure repo. With it now being a official part of arch's
infrastructure we should switch to it and get much faster builds.
Doing some quick testing, the whole pipeline is now roughly ~29-84
minutes faster (taking between 7-9 minutes, instead of 36-93 minutes).

--disable-shim-lock is required to support Secure Boot with custom signatures without using shim.
Otherwise GRUB will trow an error when trying to boot a kernel:
error: shim_lock protocol not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.
The modules GRUB will use need to be preloaded otherwise the EFI binaries cannot be signed and used for Secure Boot.
See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/71382.
GRUB will trow en error:
error: verification requested but nobody cares
These changes are done to support Secure Boot using custom keys (not shim) by simply extracting the boot loader
(BOOTx64.EFI and BOOTIA32.EFI), kernel, UEFI shell, signing them and then repacking the ISO.
For example.
Extract the files:
$ osirrox -indev archlinux-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.iso \
-extract_boot_images ./ \
-extract /EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI BOOTx64.EFI \
-extract /EFI/BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI BOOTIA32.EFI \
-extract /shellx64.efi shellx64.efi \
-extract /shellia32.efi shellia32.efi \
-extract /arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux vmlinuz-linux
Make the files writable:
$ chmod +w BOOTx64.EFI BOOTIA32.EFI shellx64.efi shellia32.efi vmlinuz-linux
Sign the files:
$ sbsign --key db.key --cert db.crt --output BOOTx64.EFI BOOTx64.EFI
$ sbsign --key db.key --cert db.crt --output BOOTIA32.EFI BOOTIA32.EFI
$ sbsign --key db.key --cert db.crt --output shellx64.efi shellx64.efi
$ sbsign --key db.key --cert db.crt --output shellia32.efi shellia32.efi
$ sbsign --key db.key --cert db.crt --output vmlinuz-linux vmlinuz-linux
Copy the boot loader and UEFI shell to the EFI system partition image:
$ mcopy -D oO -i eltorito_img2_uefi.img BOOTx64.EFI BOOTIA32.EFI ::/EFI/BOOT/
$ mcopy -D oO -i eltorito_img2_uefi.img shellx64.efi shellia32.efi ::/
Repack the ISO using the modified El Torito UEFI boot image and add the signed boot loader files, UEFI shell and
kernel to ISO9660:
$ xorriso -indev archlinux-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.iso \
-outdev archlinux-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64-Secure_Boot.iso \
-boot_image any replay \
-append_partition 2 0xef eltorito_img2_uefi.img \
-map BOOTx64.EFI /EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI \
-map BOOTIA32.EFI /EFI/BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI \
-map shellx64.efi /shellx64.efi \
-map shellia32.efi /shellia32.efi \
-map vmlinuz-linux /arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux
Boot the resulting archlinux-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64-Secure_Boot.iso.
Do not limit file copying to only grub.cfg and instead copy all GRUB configuration files and assets to both the ISO9660 and FAT image.
This will allow for including custom images, fonts, etc.
To easily match all non-configuration files (i.e. files without the .cfg extension), bash's extended glob feature will be enabled.
Actions common to multiple _make_bootmode_uefi-*.grub are split off into dedicated functions:
* _make_common_bootmode_grub_copy_to_efibootimg,
* _make_common_bootmode_grub_copy_to_isofs,
* _make_common_bootmode_grub_cfg.
Use the same du command in all efiboot_imgsize variable assignments.
Fixes#185.
Even though archiso created ISOs do not support Secure Boot, having SBAT would allow users to more easily repack the files in the ISO to add a signed shim.
Fixes#174
After more than ten years, archiso is once again using GRUB. GRUB! Only this time, it's for UEFI not BIOS boot.

See merge request https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/merge_requests/256.
The glibc 2.35-6 package ships with the C.UTF-8 locale included.
This means there is now a UTF-8 locale available by default and en_US.UTF-8, which requires editing /etc/locale.gen and running locale-gen, is not needed anymore.
Implements #175.
* .cer, .crt, .key and .pem are typical file name extensions for TLS certificates and keys. They are used when codesigning with openssl and should never be commited in the repo.
* .img is a generic image file. Such files could be used when repacking an ISO to attach cloud-init CIDATA.

Related to #118.
When using tmpfs, it is possible that parts of it end up getting put in swap space (only if there is one).
This may not be desired, so use ramfs instead.
