Boot mode names are:
- bios_syslinux.mbr: SYSLINUX in MBR
- bios.syslinux.eltorito: SYSLINUX (ISOLINUX) via El Torito
- uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp: systemd-boot on ESP in MBR
- uefi-x64.systemd-boot.eltorito: systemd-boot on ESP via El Torito
It is not yet possible to create an ISO with only El Torito or only MBR boot modes!

Closes#7Closes#3
archiso/mkarchiso:
Calls to _pacman() need to be done with multiple parameters (e.g. array) instead of one string, as string splitting is
not done in that function anymore.
Turning _iso_efi_boot_args from string into an array to have an easier time of passing it to xorriso.
Calling xorriso within the if statements instead of providing -quiet via variable.
Fixing command_install() to provide packages separately to _pacman()
configs/releng/build.sh:
Replacing all newlines when retrieving the packages from packages.x86_64 with spaces so they will be properly provided
to "mkarchiso install".
archiso/mkarchiso:
Quoting all variables.
Changing pkg_list to be an array instead of a string for easier
handling. Using read to properly populate pkg_list from OPTARG with
stripped whitespaces.
Not exporting iso_label anymore as there seems to be no reason to do so.
Introducing line breaks.
.editorconfig:
Setting max_line_length to 120.
Adding a section for YAML files (e.g. .gitlab-ci.yml).
configs/releng/build.sh
Quting nearly all variables.
Introducing line breaks.
configs/baseline/build.sh:
Quoting all variables.
Introducing line breaks.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
Adding gitlab CI for shelleck linting of the config build scripts, mkarchiso and startup scripts in releng.
Closes#19
Using the sync operation with list option fails with --sysroot when
signed database files are around. Instead use the query operation, which
uses the local databases of installed pakages only.
The only downside is that we do no longer record the originating
repository.

I see cases where a stale loop device stays around and fills up my
partition as image file is still in use and does not get unlinked.
Explicitly detach loop device on umount to fix that.

This is the first attemp to test overlayfs in archiso.
The current dm-snapshot mode is keep and is enabled by default,
while the new mode is enabled via "-s sfs" to mkarchiso.
No new boot parameters are added, since archiso hooks detects
if the .sfs file is for dm-snapshot (airootfs.img inside)
or for overlayfs.
Persistence is supported in overlayfs mode using the same options
(cowlabel or cowdevice), but warning while in dm-snapshot mode,
only one file is used (airootfs.cow), in overlayfs mode internal
files for workdir/ and upperdir/ are allocated, so you can not use
VFAT or NTFS.
To test this, you need to enable [testing] in pacman.conf from
releng profile and edit build.sh then add "-s sfs" in make_prepare()
Look at:
setarch ${arch} mkarchiso ${verbose} -w "${work_dir}" -D "${install_dir}" prepare
Replace with:
setarch ${arch} mkarchiso ${verbose} -w "${work_dir}" -s sfs -D "${install_dir}" prepare
The build requires just half of space that the build for dm-snapshot,
since there is no ext4 img ;)
Just to remember: there is no space gain in .sfs (just about 2M)
There is at least one thing during boot with machine-id service:
Dec 24 03:31:39 archiso systemd-machine-id-commit[183]: Failed to unmount transient /etc/machine-id file in our private namespace: Invalid argument

Remove unused feature, just to save space
sizeof ext4 image (empty): 4.3M vs 403K (du airootfs.img)
sizeof used space (empty): 48M vs 20K (df)
Thanks Christian Hesse for initial tip.

Ensure that all inode table is initialized at filesystem creation.
(Anyway filesystem is small, so at first mount is may quickly initialized)
This avoid possible COW usage during runtime ;)
