b5e6906b56 syslinux configuration revisited
- incompatible change (to fix the rather broken early style):
  use/syslinux/ui-% is now use/syslinux/ui/%;

- default timeout changed to 9 seconds (long enough and keeps
  the countdown in a single figure);

- added totaltimeout of 300 seconds;

- provided live kiosk images with almost-instant boot by default;

...and some other assorted tweaks here and there, sorry.

afd84973d9 live-webkiosk-mini.iso: 85M is enough
Thanks to a reviewer who came with useful feedback and a goal:
http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/83728.html#136
the live-webkiosk image got forked into a separate one:

- dropped DRI, virtualbox GA, mc & co, docs, rpmdb;
- added Russian keyboard layout (ctrl+shift to toggle);
- rebased live-webkiosk onto live-webkiosk-mini ;-)

Maybe vbox guest additions will get back but rpmdb is a bit
impractical on a kiosk squashfs image, even in presence of
aufs rw overlay.

b6e640bd8d slimmer webkiosk with Russian layout
Thanks someone for review and feedback:
http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/83728.html#136

Better cleanup and i18n controls are due but in the meantime,
let's at least build something actually useful.

79bb3f8d6e plant SHELL beacons into all config-forming rules
As noted in doc/assumptions.txt, the SHELL based target tracing
only works for rules with recipes, even empty but present ones.

The simplest thing to do is hooking "; @:" onto the rule's tail
(one-liner with a non-printing shell builting "true" command).

a52b7476a4 initial "+shortcut" support and refactoring
It looks like the intermediate targets aren't all equal:
some define a finished feature while some create a common
lower level piece of configuration.

Let's do shortcuts for the former so that a distro line can be
more terse and descriptive; help targets in features.in/ tweaked
accordingly.

97e1be6a31 features.in/live: introduced live.hooks support
The implementation builds upon liveflash.eeepc by gns@;
thanks <sol/codis.ru> who suggested adding it to live-webkiosk

c5e559b7b9 stop abusing use/live/*
Some parts of *image* configuration started slipping down
into the *feature* configuration, and that was wrong; fixed.

Also introduced proper use/live/x11 (via use/x11/xorg with added
wacom support for the sake of #26723/#26724) and rebased the
pre-existing descendants onto it.

1b3b38b7c5 subprofiles: minor docs extension
"sub/stage2/live" might seem a bit cryptic and not readily
traceable, so let's expand on explanations accordingly.

cd998fef41 initial live autologin
use/live/autologin target tries hard to configure any available
autologin means, including a dedicated package and a few DMs.

Thanks gns@ as liveflash.eeepc got robbed somewhat.

3d78fd75e4 introduced live-install support
It was actually trivial given that the script was already
maintained as a package by enp@ and msp@; its usage requires
one to manually partition the target disk and optionally
mkswap in advance.

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...

83392012d4 live-builder distro: your self-hosted livecd
If you make distro/live-builder.iso, the result is an image
containing almost everything (short of actual full enough
repository) to rebuild itself.  It will attempt to configure
eth0 with DHCP and reach http://ftp.altlinux.org for packages.

RAM requirements start with 2Gb, self-build is accomplished
on a 4Gb host with "make CLEAN=1 distro/live-builder.iso".

Packages required for "make distro/syslinux.iso" get included.

(some due fixups all over the place too)

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
