368cfd26bd syslinux: trivial cleanup
"echo ... | xargs cp -t" is a bit more complicated
compared to plain "copy ..."

a3c0d2bbc3 initial features.in/dos
This was tackled before but it took raorn@'s hint regarding
sys-freedos-linux (ms-sys has no bootsectors compatible with
freedos currently) and gns@' quick rush at make-freedos-floppy
script to wrap things up.

Should be further developed to become actually useful though.

3d10c59d2b test-based ramdisk size for live squashfs images
Implementation based on m-p-d::profiles/scripts.d/03-syslinux
(but heavily modified for m-p of course)

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

0e57149de9 initial rescue image
NB: this implementation is awfully cut-n-paste one,
there are lots of common code with install2
which are subject to careful surgery

1941e52780 syslinux: add vesamenu ui support
...and switch syslinux.iso over to it: syslinux-3.86-alt4's
(actually opensuse's) gfxboot hackery doesn't properly init
video mode so memdisk-started freedos has console troubles
(and yesterday's hdt.c32 hassles could be avoided as well
it seems).  And that's being implemented.

Mid-term plan: try switching to syslinux4.

PS: CLI fallback was actually a bug in hdt from syslinux <= 3.86-alt3

3f012958dc server-ovz; KDEFAULT; syslinux features reworked
Renamed server-light.iso into server-ovz.iso to avoid brand dilution
and confusion (rider@'s server-light rather favours kvm, anyways).

Introduced KDEFAULT: a reliable default kernel chooser knob
since apt's regex ordering proved pretty unreliable.
Spelling things explicitly is better anyways.

SYSLINUX related features undergone pretty major rewrite
(that includes syslinux, hdt and memtest).

The problem to tackle was features.in/syslinux/generate.mk
assuming syslinux and pciids available in build *host* system;
this well might not be the case (or worse yet, those can be
just different).  So now we're a bit less elegant and a bit
more enterprise, stuffing things into chroot and working there.

Bunch of other fixes along the road, including ; to name a few:
- fixed memtest entry (overlooked while renaming SYSLINUX_ITEMS)
- new and shiny doc/CodingStyle
- gfxboot, stage1 target chain, hdt tweaks
- distro.mk rehashed
- README++
- TODO: dropped (integer overflow anyways)
  + actually moved off-tree to reduce commit spam
- s,\.config\.mk,distcfg.mk,g
- doc/profiles.mk.sample: sample ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk
- ...and assorted fixups/additions

Sorry for convoluted commit, this would have been pretty hard to
rework into some really readable shape (and you might be interested
in the original repo's history horrors then, anyways).

d93989a3ff initial logging subsystem
Now we don't dump all the gory details onto thee
but rather log them handsomely and present only
the most important details by default; use DEBUG=1
and/or BUILDLOG=/path/to/file to tweak.

Also introduced IMAGEDIR and IMAGENAME.

The rest:
- ovz-smp is no more
- base-l10n pkglist (suggested by Alexander Kuprin)
- clean.mk:
  + fixed an oversight: the test result erroneously applied
    only to the first command of several ones that should be
    run iff build/ is a symlink
  + drop implicit rules (it's no C code)
- Makefile: more reasonable iso names
- image.in/Makefile: .disk/date too
