3a3893b664 rescue += firmware (server, wireless)
There's no use of a rescue image when it has no firmware
for the controller in the system being worked on...
so added some.

b21353a00c complex subprofile delimiter changed ("/" -> "@")
That sub/stage2/install2 was somewhat clumsy actually as it looked
like a hierarchical thing while being a substitution thing:
generic stage2 would get put in place renamed as install2.

This could only get worse with hierarchical features which have
already been both requested and considered for quite a time,
and "stage2 at install2" reads much more naturally.

9c16a9e6ff rescue += boot off sda/sdb
There's no (convenient) "eject" at times, so it's better to provide
extra ways of booting right away.

70793436c7 rescue += openssh
Found myself pretty silly while sittin' at the rescue console
and bein' unable to leave the cool server room for a way
more comfortable armchair and a laptop's keyboard...

(yes, it was that disk array needing GPT tools)

e9fea01685 live tweaks for x11 rescue
New stuff:
* distro/live-icewm -- basic icewm livecd with autologin;
* distro/live-rescue -- yet another gparted^Wrescue CD.

A better part of base+rescue tagged pkglist split off into
extra+rescue where the content belongs.

Thanks ruslandh@ for proposing to do a graphical rescue with some
particular tools (albeit qt4-fsarchiver clearly needs more work).

9cedefdba9 introduced add_feature function
The features might get copy-pasted (or even copied-and-pruned)
when initialized; there's an unneccessary duplication of the
function name in the line adding it to FEATURES list, thus
prone to being forgotten and causing some havoc later on.

It was wrong in the first place but tackling this with some
double-colon rules ran into terminality issues, and further
tortures were considered unneccessary.

The current solution isn't perfect (no completely transparent
function name registration upon corresponding target being called)
but at least it is an improvement...

cf81cc6785 live, rescue, and use tags
It's still very immature -- base lists should be really base,
and functionality should be sorted out in more consistent way.
So far moved to tagged lists (which need some more experimentation
anyways to get both lists and their use more elegant).

- fixed live.iso (now actually useful):
  + extra cleanup was being done (coming from install2 case)
  + root user was password blocked
  + there was no unprivileged user (added "altlinux" w/o password)
  + added xdm setup hook for future X-based livecd flavours
  + several picks for a less slim "base" list
  + xdm login
- tweaked rescue.iso (added ext3grep)

f5a8b89381 stage2 based live subprofiles, updated docs
- introduced generic stage2 subprofile (non-standalone)
- ported installer and rescue over to stage2/{install2,rescue}
- initial stage2/live (needs more work for sure)
- use make-initrd-propagator
- updated and somewhat extended doc/

NB: mind #26133, #26134
