We are only using these files only for SYSLINUX bootloader that supports
".." as directories.
ISOLINUX jumps to archiso.cfg via isolinux.cfg
PXELINUX goes directly to archiso.cfg via DHCP configuration.

* In that way we can have two differents syslinux menus depending if booting from
PXE or from non-PXE.
Some file renames are made to keep things ordered:
archiso_pxe* all things related to PXELINUX
archiso_sys* all things related to SYSLINUX
*_inc.cfg only contains INCLUDE directive
* By default NBD PXE option is selected for booting on timeout.
* As (NDB/NFS/HTTP/FTP) server is used the same IP from pxeserver.

On machines with common graphics chipsets (radeon, intel, nvidia), enable
KMS early. Downloading images from a remote server can take time, better
view the status with a nice resolution.
* In that way, we have unified directory scheme among {pxe,sys,ext,iso}linux,
sharing the same directory structure and config files.
* Also enable IPAPPEND (will show a warning message about unknown directive in non-pxelinux before menu)
NEW:
* Rename syslinux*.cfg -> archiso*.cfg
* Now syslinux.cfg is only a "loadconfig" trick like we are doing for isolinux
* All paths are now relative to %INSTALL_DIR% ($archisobasedir) (Default: /arch/)

Its add support for downloading the ISO image via HTTP/FTP with curl or download *.sfs files.
The files are downloaded on /run/archiso/curlspace (tmpfs) and setup a loop dev from it
(like in archiso_loop_mnt) in the ISO case, or just do a bind mount to
/run/archiso/bootmnt in the other case.
This hook must be located after archiso_pxe_nbd in mkinitcpio.conf, in that way
NBD is the default.
New bootparm:

* archiso_curl_url=(second form)
archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/unpacked (absolute form)
Use an absolute URL. Where unpacked (an example name) is a directory where
${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default) is located with all *.sfs.
This fetch only needed files.

purge_single command can be usefull to save space during build. It removes
all files in working directory except "iso/" and *.iso.
Workflow can be:
(32) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> i686 *.iso are ready.
(32) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup.
(64) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> x86_64 *.iso are ready.

where /dev/sdNM is the device where .iso is located.

syslinux's KERNEL command tries to autodetect the type of the kernel
by looking at the file's extension. This is unsafe, use the explicit
versions instead:
LINUX - for Linux kernels (memtest is booted like a Linux kernel, too)
COM32 - for COM32 modules
COMBOOT - for comboot modules (only poweroff.com right now)

The name of the bootloader is syslinux, while isolinux is just one
of many components. isolinux.bin now also accepts syslinux.cfg
as a configuration file name (as do all other loaders).
Thus, rename the isolinux/ folder to syslinux/, and rename
isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg. The only occurrence of 'isolinux'
is now the actual loader file 'isolinux.bin'. This makes
the transition from isolinux to the other syslinux loaders
easier when remastering the ISO onto another medium.

at in packages file.
In this way, ensure a fully base system installed first,
avoinding errors from install scriptlets of rest of packages.

but if some add more packages to customize the iso will see errors)
