Эта фича конфигурирует создание образа виртуального окружения (VE),
что используется для сборки шаблонов OpenVZ и ARM-чрутов для TWRP.

Дополняет финальную стадию сборки (lib/, image-scripts.d/)
и тесно с ней связана.
-												build-{ve,vm}: handle THE_* and DOT_BASE too

Classic VEs don't carry any kernel since these are running
under a single OpenVZ (or potentially LXC) kernel image;
ARM Multiboot (TWRP in this particular case) allows to boot
off a chroot via kexec, and we need a kernel in it for that,
obviously.

No bootloader required inside such VE though.

-												official {distro,ve}/* support

This is quite a large-scale change since mkimage-profiles got used to
baking distributions over the last year, and virtual environments are
quite different, so e.g. image.in/Makefile had to be split in two with
the main part of it moved into features.in/iso/lib/.

Short overview:

- features.in/Makefile: lib/ support
  (supporting VE images requires dynamic modifications
  to image.in/Makefile before starting the build;
  the most natural way to achieve that seems to use
  features mechanism along with makefile include dir)

- packaging format related part moved into features.in/pack
  (should be better prepared for diversity either)
- features.in/iso renamed to features.in/build-distro
- features.in/ve  renamed to features.in/build-ve
  + NB: these could not be merged as e.g. features.in/build
    due to completely different script hooks

- lib/image.mk renamed to lib/build.mk
- image, config, log postprocessing moved downstream
- added a sort of a topping in the form of lib/sugar.mk
- assorted style fixups (like ifeq usage)

- clean.mk: reliability fix (the problem was observed by Oleg Ivanov
  and me too but finally it did get the attention quantum)

- reviewed, updated and extended docs
  + QUICKSTART: should be[come] a step-by-step guide
    (thanks Leo-sp50 for prodiving feedback)

-												initial ISO9660 metadata support

As was noted by Alexey Shabalin in libosinfo context,
current ALT Linux images tend to lack ISO9660 metadata
-- which they did have back in the day of Master 2.4.

Please note that the data collection occurs this way
due to mkimage's config.mk resetting the values to be
empty; this was worked around by using another config
file, $(BUILDDIR)lib/iso.mk, and including it later
but that would require a separate target with per-target
CONFIG variable which isn't elegant at all given the need
to actually build up the metadata set.

So the variables were changed (to be more readable anyways)
and then proxied back to BOOT_*.  This might be cleaned up
some day after the inclusion order is tweaked or mkimage
defaults get set-if-unset-yet (?=).
