2f389cfce1 build-distro: added META_DISK_INFO support
This one can be used to override the default content
of .disk/info file (used by propagator but can find
some other uses within installer as well); the reason
being that ISO9660's Volume ID is up to 32 characters
and a file lacks that particular limitation.

24ead72484 build-distro: document META_* somewhat
Thanks msp@ for his proposal to provide at least some hints
regarding metadata related variables albeit further RTFM
is much recommended.

ed7bf0db9f 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 (?=).

d5a5941f96 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)
