The debian revision starts after the '-' character, so make sure the
timestamp we append is treated as the revision instead of being a part
of the upstream version.
The only reason to have these split up is to be able to build extension
images that use the base image as a base tree and install extra packages.
Until we have such a use case, let's merge the base and system images to
simplify things a bit.
We keep the mkosi.images/ directory to not cause too many conflicts with
the integration tests PR.
The testuser user is only needed for integration tests,
which are used in the system user and this config
can be provided as drop-ins instead of inline in postinst scripts.
Instead of running meson install and hoping for the best, let's build
distribution packages from the downstream packaging specs. This gets
us the following:
- Vastly simplified mkosi scripts since we don't need a separate initrd
image anymore but can just reuse the default mkosi initrd.
- Almost everything can move to the base image as its not the basis
anymore for the initrd and as such we don't need to care about the
size anymore.
- The systemd packages that get pulled in as dependencies of other
packages get properly uninstalled and replaced with our packages that
we built instead of just installing on top of an existing systemd
installation with no guarantee that everything from that previous
installation was removed.
- Much better testing coverage as what we're testing is much closer
to what will actually be deployed in distributions.
- Immediate feedback if something we change breaks distribution packaging
- We get integration with the distribution for free as we'll automatically
use the proper directories and such instead of having to hack this
into a mkosi build script.

authselect 1.5.0 removed the "minimal" profile and added the "local"
profile instead. Let's modify our post-installation script to take
these changes into account.
Both building and booting a directory image is much faster than
building or booting a disk image so let's default to a directory
image.
In CI, we stick to a disk image to make sure that keeps working as
well.
The only extra dependency this introduces is virtiofsd which is
packaged in all distributions except Debian stable. For users
hacking on systemd on Debian stable, a disk image can be built by
writing the following to mkosi.local.conf:
```
[Output]
Format=disk
```
The mkosi github action doesn't set up the host machine for building
full images anymore. Instead, only sufficient packages are installed
to be able to build tools trees so we configure a fedora tools tree
to build the actual images.
locale files are not generated on-demand in Fedora like they are in
Debian-like systems and are typically installed from package instead.
This is necessary for the locale tests,
which expect en_US.UTF-8 to be available.
The integration tests are installed into the image
with the intention that it should be possible to run those tests,
but those tests require the named user testuser
and tar is needed for machined-import
Now that mkosi-kernel is a thing, this logic in systemd is just mostly
bitrotting since I just use mkosi-kernel these days. If I ever need to
hack on systemd and the kernel in tandem, I'll just add support for
building systemd to mkosi-kernel instead, so let's drop the support for
building a custom kernel in systemd's mkosi configuration.
Newer kernels are affected by a regression that causes a kernel panic
on boot when using cgroupv2, so pin them for now. Can be reverted once
that problem is fixed.
- Use mkosi.images/ instead of mkosi.presets/
- Use the .chroot suffix to run scripts in the image
- Use BuildSources= match for the kernel build
- Move 10-systemd.conf to mkosi.conf and rely on mkosi.local.conf
for local configuration
