3dd020338b "untag" install2 tagged scripts
So far the tagged scripts concept is too fragile,
and these were used unconditionally anyways.

features.in/Makefile is broken regarding copying
tagged scripts right now...

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.

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...

720a579690 wash, rinse, repeat
install2 cleanups:

- functionally indifferent ones: particularly, install2/*/98system's
  "mkdir -p /image" was superfluous as it was done by that time already
  by sub.in/stage2/image-scripts.d/00stage1

- taken apart, prepared for tags: so far it's a mostly moot change
  since the installer cleanup scripts themselves are mostly the same as
  preceding 90cleanup was (with some additions corresponding to recent
  kernel development); it's still unclear what the mechanism for
  configuring the cleanups in effect will be, either directory/package
  regex lists or tagged scripts excluded from execution by yet another tag

fixes:

- image.in/Makefile: fix metadata related test; the actual test was
  assuming that stage1 kernel means installer, which is not the case
  since generic stage2 introduction; oh well

- 85cleanup-lowmem: a "_" too much was the culprit in destroying the
  needed translations along with those deemed superfluous; thanks go to
  Oleg Ivanov and Lenar Shakirov for finding the bug and proposing the
  fix altogether

additions:

- features.in/Makefile: reworked help target; it was rather inaccessible
  due to BUILDDIR normally undefined at the time of direct make
  invocation, and BUILDDIR is normally defined during normal builds
  anyways so let's try it this way.

- README++

daydreams:

- 01-genbasedir: we should drop bzip2 compressed pkglists some day
  but see genbasedir and apt-cdrom first, 90-pkg.sh (alterator-pkg)
  will fail miserably otherwise

5d37a0c54d avoid setting GLOBAL_* altogether
Applying set() and only set() to a GLOBAL_* is safe
but still a potentially confusing example; so let's
just do it right (and warn unsuspecting folks too).

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.

0c98733338 install2: use HSH_EXCLUDE_DOCS too
The docs would be purged anyways, let's not install them either.

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.

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
