To prevent the file from being accidentally missed when someone copies
the ISO's contents, let's not place it in a directory that starts with a
dot. Since all GRUB related files are in /boot/grub/, put it there too.
Instead of using a more unique UUID for the file name, use
`YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid` which matches the ISO's modification date
in UTC,i.e. its "UUID". If multiple ISOs would be generated in the exact
same second, the ISO 9660 modification date (i.e. its "UUID") would be
the same, so there would be not way to distinguish between the volumes
anyway. This also makes the file look less suspicious to the casual
glance.

embedded grub.cfg
The `grub.cfg` embedded in the GRUB binaries already sets `ARCHISO_HINT`
and `ARCHISO_UUID` in most cases. To avoid performing the same searches
multiple times, use the existing variables.
|
|
Ensure the **correct** date is used in `iso_label` and `iso_version`.
|
|
Move memtest86+ to `/boot/memtest86+/` on ISO 9660. That directory is
not copied to netboot artifact output.
Netboot boot menu https://ipxe.archlinux.org/releng/netboot/archlinux.ipxe
does not have entries for memtest and archiso-manager removes these files
(not the EFI one, though) before uploading the release files anyway.

Update /etc/ssh/sshd_config to match changes made in
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/42aa04744e96c5805b7aa3904636f8cbd781f682
and https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/7166713c55002dac3c2b306fdc63e89a412083a6
The only modification remains `PermitRootLogin yes`.

There are claims that some UEFI allegedly natively support NTFS.
Preload the required GRUB modules to support booting from NTFS on such
systems.
Additionally preload the exFAT and UEF modules, because, why not?

volume it's on
Search for `/.disk/%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%.uuid` and pass the UUID of the
volume it's on as `archisodevice`. mkarchiso will replace
`%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%` with a hardcoded value generated using
`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` durring ISO build.
This allows to prepare an UEFI bootable installation medium by simply
copying the directory structure without having to touch `grub.cfg`.
Relying on the volume UUID instead of its LABEL also avoids collisions
of multiple ISOs created in the same month.

Now that xz 5.4 is out and erofs-utils is built with LZMA support, it is
possible to compress the EROFS image with LZMA for higher compression.
`mkfs.erofs` trows a few warnings about using experimental features, but
they should not be an issue.
Nothing changes for the releng profile, for now at least.

with cms_verify=y
Specify `cms_verify=y` in SYSLINUX/PXELINUX configuration to use OpenSSL
CMS based method for verifying the root file system image against the
code signing certificates in the initramfs.
`checksum` and `verify` are removed since they essentially serve the same
purpose and performing all the checks just needlessly delays boot.
Additionally, the removal of `verify` allows to build the ISO without gpg,
i.e. without using `mkarchiso`'s `-g` and `-G` options.

This protects against the case where /proc/cmdline contains garbage triggering grep to think it is a binary.

archiso_kms hook with kms
The archiso_kms hook was moved from mkinitcpio-archiso to the mkinitcpio project.

The default is now copytoram=auto which enables copying to RAM when the rootfs image size is less than 4 GiB and free RAM exceeds the rootfs image size + 2 GiB.

The glibc 2.35-6 package ships with the C.UTF-8 locale included.
This means there is now a UTF-8 locale available by default and en_US.UTF-8, which requires editing /etc/locale.gen and running locale-gen, is not needed anymore.

When booting the ISO, you can observe a message that systemd-gpt-auto-generator has failed:
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Reading EFI variable /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: open("/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f") failed: No such file or directory
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: EFI loader partition unknown, exiting.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: (The boot loader did not set EFI variable LoaderDevicePartUUID.)
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Failed to open device: No such device
Seeing as it started to appear relatively recently, it may be a systemd bug.
Since we do not want any GPT partition automounting in the live environment anyway, systemd-gpt-auto-generator can simply be disabled.
Fixes #164.

By default, syslinux interprets TFTP paths as relative to the location of the *.c32 modules, regardless whether a path starts with a slash. Without the `::` that I added to all of these paths, syslinux cannot find these files. It searches for them in /%INSTALL_DIR%/syslinux//%INSTALL_DIR%/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux, etc.

"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.)
