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.

* bootstrap will use .tar.zst with `zstd -c -T0 --long -19`,
* releng will retain .tar.gz with `gzip -cn9` for now.
This will later be changed as part of https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/130.

Starting with kernel 6.7, the releng ISO exceeds 900 MiB which is the
maximum size of a CD.
Adjust the description to say "DVD" instead.

As opgpcard uses pcsclite and gnupg is able to use it as well, switch
away from using gnupg's internal ccid driver.

Ensure the **correct** date is used in `iso_label` and `iso_version`.

People get scared by it. See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/merge_requests/239#note_61954.
This reverts commit b5011af3f4ac63214fdecef442550cce5ae4a971, reversing

this fixes #167

configs/releng/profiledef.sh:
Add a `buildmodes` array to releng's profiledef.sh with the up-to-now default buildmode 'iso'.

EROFS, like Squashfs, is a read-only file system. It can be used to store airootfs in an image file.
Its advantage is the support for POSIX ACLs. EROFS downside is that currently it only supports LZ4 compression (LZMA support is not yet fully implemented).
A difference from Squashfs is that, EROFS stores change time (ctime) not modification time (mtime). The reverse is true for Squashfs.

archiso/mkarchiso:
Make sure to always compare absolute paths in `_make_custom_airootfs()` (as `realpath` is used).
Remove `echo` calls that prevent the setting of actual file ownerships and modes.
configs/releng/profiledef.sh:
Set file mode of /root/.automated_script.sh to 755.
Fixes #82

profiledef.sh can now contain an associative array called file_permissions which can be used to set custom ownership and mode of custom airootfs files. The array's keys contain the path and the value is a colon separated list of owner UID, owner GID and access mode.
For example:
file_permissions=(
["/etc/shadow"]="0:0:400"
)
This means that mkarchiso now copies airootfs files (and directores) without permissions and anything that should be owned by a user other than root and/or if the mode should be something other than 644 for files and 755 for directories must to be listed in ${file_permission[@]} in profiledef.sh.
Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/61 .

Default: 732M
With these options: 675M

Boot mode names are:
- bios_syslinux.mbr: SYSLINUX in MBR
- bios.syslinux.eltorito: SYSLINUX (ISOLINUX) via El Torito
- uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp: systemd-boot on ESP in MBR
- uefi-x64.systemd-boot.eltorito: systemd-boot on ESP via El Torito
It is not yet possible to create an ISO with only El Torito or only MBR boot modes!

Nothing is implemented yet!
configs/releng/profiledef.sh:
A test profile.
