configs/*:
Copy all files that do not need a rename generically (not specifying a destination file name).
Do not rename vmlinuz-linux to vmlinuz or vmlinuz.efi (as this serves no purpose and makes the scripts more
complicated).
Do not rename microcode (i.e. {amd,intel}-ucode.img) when copying them and change all boot loader configuration files
that assume a renamed microcode image.
Add note and link to Arch Linux wiki to state why memtest.bin is renamed to memtest.
Copy license files for {amd,intel}-ucode and memtest more generically by placing them into subdirectories with the same
name as the package (to circumenvent overwriting one other).
Closes#33
{configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64-{cd,usb}.conf,configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_{pxe,sys}.cfg}:
Standardizing the boot loader entry format by switching all entries to the form:
"Arch Linux install medium (<CARCH>[, <PROPERTY>])".
This removes the distinction between "CD" and "USB" when booting in UEFI "el-torito" (as the information is not useful).
Changing some of the syslinux help text as well to reflect this change. This also drops the specific <CARCH> from the
syslinux help text as it is duplicated information.
Closes#24
configs/releng/build.sh:
Copying the edk2-shell based Shell_Full.efi to the root of the iso/ efi
image as 'shellx64.efi' is automatically picked up by certain hardware
and by systemd-boot.
This makes all custom UEFI shell configuration obsolete.
configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/uefi-shell-*.conf:
Removing obsolete custom UEFI shell boot loader configuration.
Closes#14
configs/releng/efiboot/loader/loader.conf:
The 'default' bootloader selection of systemd-boot is based on a glob
pattern. The previous pattern was not sufficient to select anything,
which is why it is now made explicit (pointing to archiso-x86_64.conf).
configs/releng/build.sh:
Instead of downloading UDK2018 based edk2 UEFI shell, use the Shell
binaries from the edk2-shell package.
This effectively makes the use of EFI shell v1 obsolete.
configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/uefi-shell-v*:
Renaming UEFI shell entries to match the packaged edk2-shell based UEFI
shell binaries.
configs/releng/build.sh:
Renaming the systemd-boot bootloader entries for UEFI shell (normal and
full version) to reflect their file names, which are derived from the
binary names in the edk2-shell package.
Copying the edk2-shell based UEFI shell binaries for normal efiboot and
.iso based "el-torito" efiboot mode.
docs/README.build:
Adding edk2-shell to the requirements in the documentation, as the
package is now used to provide UEFI shell.
Makes an efiboot.img (FAT16) for "El Torito" (additional).
Under an EFI-system, implies that this .ISO works only if is used
as "CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" not in ISO-HYBRID-MBR mode.
If you want, an EFI-ready USB-key, just unpack this "<ISO>/EFI/efiboot.img" (FAT16) to
"<USB-key-FAT-formatted>/EFI" then copy "<ISO>/arch" and setup the filesystem label.
An aditional EFI shell is provided with an startup script for automatic booting
until EFI_STUB supports "linux.conf" to pass boot parms to kernel.
Anyway I think that is a good idea to keep this shell, so can customize boot parms,
or for doing other tasks on systems without an EFI-shell.
RFCv1: Initial efiboot.img build with vmlinuz.efi (Linux with EFI_STUB enabled)
and archiso.img (initramfs).
RFCv2: Use an startup.nsh with EFI-Shell 2.0 (generated from build.sh) for automatic boot.
RFCv3: Use and older EFI-Shell 1.0 instead of 2.0, since not all UEFI-systems
are compatible with 2.3+ specs.
RFCv4: The script "startup.nsh" improved by Keshav P R, using a for-loop
(see notes below from original commit), now that has more than 1-line,
I moved it to an independent file and is parsed by build.sh.

[configs/releng] Search in all existing UEFI FS mountpoints for archiso efistub kernel file
There is no guarantee that the efistub kernel will always be in fs0:
(similar to the case inside linux OS where the sda, sdb confusion exists,
hence the need for UUIDs), especially when USB (instead os CD/ISO) is
used for booting.
Hence loop through all possible fs mountpoints (in UEFI) in startup.nsh
and try to launch the first mountpoint that contains the archiso files.
Cd's into the fs%m:\EFI\archiso directory also may remove future issues
with efistub's linux.conf where the efistub might have problems
identifying the directory from which the kernel was launched.
Also add an helpful echo message showing the user the UEFI PATH to the
archiso kernel file being launched by startup.nsh .
Hopefully this should work in both CD and USB. Tested in Tianocore
UDK/EDK2 DuetPkg X64 UEFI 2.3.1 firmware with EdkShellBinPkg's Shell.
