The existence of a ``early_cpio`` file is not enough since mkinitcpio can
and will place other files in the early uncompressed CPIO even when the
microcode hook is not used.

While using GRUB as the UEFI boot loader has reduced the size of the ISO,
it has brought nothing but pain otherwise:
* We cannot use `gfxterm` since it is not visible on some hardware.
* GRUB has a a strange and nonsensical limitation where the EFI binary
can be built with either support for shim or custom Secure Boot key
support, but not both. This means you cannot repack the ISO to use
shim + MOK since we currently use `--disable-shim-lock` to provide
support for setups with custom keys.
* GRUB's EFI binary needs to be built with `grub-mkstandalone` instead
of there being a ready made EFI binary in the package. This requires
having grub installed on the host system which affects reproducibility.
This increases the size of the ISO since systemd-boot cannot boot files
from other volumes, i.e. the kernel and initramfs is duplicated in the
EFI system partition (the second partition made from `efiboot.img`).

The zstd tool has now been around for a while, so the availability of
it should not be a concern anymore.
Unlike gzip which was used until now, zstd offers higher compression
while still being faster (and multi-threaded).
The `--auto-threads=logical` option is used just so that there is some
difference between the releng and baseline profiles.
Everyone using the official Arch Linux bootstrap tarball (previously
`archlinux-bootstrap-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.tar.gz` or
`archlinux-bootstrap-x86_64.tar.gz`) will need to update their scripts
and etc. to use `archlinux-bootstrap-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.tar.zst` or
`archlinux-bootstrap-x86_64.tar.zst` instead.

`uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito` has the same requirements as
`uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp`, not the same as `uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp`.
Fixes: 5e72546e89 ("mkarchiso: add uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp and uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito boot modes")
The early uncompressed CPIO archive containing microcode update files
can be part of the initramfs file. To avoid wasting space, first check
if the initramfs file contains `early_cpio` and only copy external
microcode initramfs images if it does not.
The licenses package does not ship
`/usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt` anymore, which results in:
/usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt': No such file or directory
Use its replacement, `/usr/share/licenses/spdx/GPL-2.0-only.txt` instead.

Keep the prepared `.conf` files in `work_dir` to avoid having to run
them through `sed` twice.
This makes sure the FAT image size calculation is more correct and also
simplifies copying the files m to both ISO 9660 and the FAT image since
the the whole `loader` directory can copied instead of copying
individual files.
By default systemd-networkd-wait-online.service considers a network
connection to be "online" when it has reached the "degraded" state
(see networkctl(1) for the definitions).
Since "degraded" does not ensure there's a routable address, let's
change the connection's requirement to "routable" instead.
This gives a better chance that the network really is online when
network-online.target is reached.

* origin/merge-requests/353:
Ensured the correct CA key and CA certificate is used during signing process. It's been working based on default assumptions from the openssl configuration, but it's worth being explicit when doing these operations. Also removed a redundant -sha256

GnuPG changed their default from RSA to ECC, so Key-Length not
a thing it supports. Instead it asks for the Key-Curve.
Avoid using the default and hardcode ed25519 (which is the current
GnuPG default).
Even if GRUB is not used as a boot loader for the ISO, create a
`/boot/grub/grubenv` file in the ISO 9660 file system. If a
`loopback.cfg` file exists in the profile's `grub` directory, copy it
to `/boot/grub/loopback.cfg` on the ISO.
This ensures the funtionality will not be lost if the used boot loaders
are changed.
Construct a human readable platform identifier from GRUB's built-in
variables and use it in menu item descriptions.
Only add the menu entries for the additional tools (UEFI shell,
Memtest86+) if the files exist.
Modify baseline's `grub.cfg` to closer match releng.
* Do not manually load modules that will get loaded by invoking a command.
* Explicitly load serial modules.
* Move `insmod all_video` after the font is loaded.
The systemd 254.2-1 package ships with IA32 systemd-boot, so it is
possible to use for booting on IA32 UEFI.
Perhaps they will be useful in the future.
At least for now, the baseline and releng profiles are not changed to
use them. When the issues and headaches caused with GRUB reach a
critical point, then we will switch.
bolt can be used to list and authorize Thunderbolt and USB4 devices.
Inspired by https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=288731 where a
user needed to install the package in the live environment.
The only changes we make to the default are to enable root login via a
password.
While `PasswordAuthentication yes` is the default, let's set it
explicitly to avoid potential issues in the future.
openssh 9.4p1-2 changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config to add support for
drop-in files in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/.
Using drop-in files avoids needing to keep up with changes to the
default /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
