86c42e2db6 implemented {THE,BASE,LIVE}_PACKAGES_REGEXP
There were STAGE1_PACKAGES_REGEXP and MAIN_PACKAGES_REGEXP
but adding more of those was postponed to avoid bloat and
bitrot; THE_PACKAGES_REGEXP is needed for use/firmware now
and looks like BASE_PACKAGES_REGEXP and LIVE_PACKAGES_REGEXP
will be useful before too long either.

Docs updated to include stage-specific package related vatiables.

c2996cc493 stage2: 99-elf-stats for squashfs tuning
This kind of test was proposed by led@ to gather statistics
on chroot's contents going to become squashfs (the script
optimizations lowering added overhead from ~10 sec down
to a subsecond range were also proposed by him).

Intentionally not documented in doc/variables.txt due to
the rather lowlevel nature of the probe (at least so far).

The knobs involved are SQUASHFS (the additional effort kicks
in only for "tight" case) and GLOBAL_SQUASHFS_SORT (must be
non-empty for this extra overhead to occur).

Additional experimentation is needed to find out whether
the difference in squashfs size and performance is worth
the trouble (seems the impact is non-zero but pretty minor).

d6972a39bf introduced THE_{KMODULES,PACKAGES,LISTS,GROUPS}
As too many things started duplicating between distros proper
and (e.g. corresponding) LiveCDs, it became apparent that a class
of entities which end up working for THE_USER (not a sysadmin,
and not a developer, just a Linux user) is in need.

So THE_KMODULES will power installed basesystem and live image,
while THE_PACKAGES, THE_LISTS and THE_GROUPS will participate
in building those.

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)

c5bf0529bc initial features.in/cleanup
This is a sort of anti-feature which removes and not builds;
still with mkimage-profiles' approach we can at least build
up the removal procedures as well.

It's what triggered the tagged scripts, BTW.

774169c6cd COMMON_PACKAGES and SYSTEM_PACKAGES
It was clear that "common" isn't very apt for packages that
will get *everywhere*, and became apparent when the need for
a "base+live packages" variable arrived with powerbutton feature.

So:
- the former COMMON_PACKAGES are now SYSTEM_PACKAGES;
- COMMON_PACKAGES act as "BASE+LIVE_PACKAGES".

Note that SYSTEM_PACKAGES also got factored out from stage2 based
features into stage2 subprofile itself; cleanups were due as well.

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
