The curl --retry-connrefused option is used with not instead of the --retry <num> option to add an extra type of failure to retry on, without --retry <num> it does not retry at all even on a connection refused.

"rescue/installation actions for {grub,refind} should be run from
within a chroot" is a false statement. See --boot-directory of
grub-install and --root of refind-install. (In the case of grub,
there are people that do not use the ugly grub-mkconfig at all.)
* virtualbox-guest-utils-nox package and vboxservice.service for VirtualBox.
* qemu-guest-agent package and qemu-guest-agent.service for QEMU & libvirt.
Implements #118.
configs/releng/packages.x86_64:
Add libusb-compat and pcsclite as optional dependencies for gnupg to be able to interact with smartcards out-of-the-box.
Closes#122
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf:
Reduce the amount mirrors that reflector checks from 70 to 20.
This significantly reduces the time it takes to end up with an up-to-date mirrorlist during boot with the releng
profile.
Fixes#92
configs/releng/airootfs/root/.automated_script.sh:
Add the `--location` curl parameter (see `man 1 curl`) to allow for curl to retrieve a remote script even if the source
is being redirected (e.g. moved permanently) when using the `script=` kernel commandline parameter.
Fixes#113
EROFS, like Squashfs, is a read-only file system. It can be used to store airootfs in an image file.
Its advantage is the support for POSIX ACLs. EROFS downside is that currently it only supports LZ4 compression (LZMA support is not yet fully implemented).
A difference from Squashfs is that, EROFS stores change time (ctime) not modification time (mtime). The reverse is true for Squashfs.

configs/releng/packages.x86_64:
Add usbmuxd to list of packages, so that users have the option to use iOS devices out-of-the-box for data connection
during installation.
Fixes#99
After pacman-mirrorlist is installed, /etc/pacman.d/hooks/uncomment-mirrors.hook will run a sed command which uncomments all Server lines in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.
This brings us another step closer to the complete removal of customize_airootfs.sh.
Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/21 .
archiso/mkarchiso:
Make sure to always compare absolute paths in `_make_custom_airootfs()` (as `realpath` is used).
Remove `echo` calls that prevent the setting of actual file ownerships and modes.
configs/releng/profiledef.sh:
Set file mode of /root/.automated_script.sh to 755.
Fixes#82
profiledef.sh can now contain an associative array called file_permissions which can be used to set custom ownership and mode of custom airootfs files. The array's keys contain the path and the value is a colon separated list of owner UID, owner GID and access mode.
For example:
file_permissions=(
["/etc/shadow"]="0:0:400"
)
This means that mkarchiso now copies airootfs files (and directores) without permissions and anything that should be owned by a user other than root and/or if the mode should be something other than 644 for files and 755 for directories must to be listed in ${file_permission[@]} in profiledef.sh.
