Change the defaults in the new device port wizard:
* arch: armv7 -> aarch64
New devices are more likely to be aarch64.
* flash method: 0xffff -> none
The only device that uses 0xffff is the N900, it's extremely unlikely
that it will get used for a new port. Use the neutral "none" instead.

A long time ago we renamed the flash_system action into flash_rootfs.
Since we still kept some variables around, it's finally time to clean
that up.
Keep backwards compatibility for now since we cannot update pmaports at
the same time since the new deviceinfo names won't be supported in older
pmbootstrap versions.

The typical workflow for upgrading cross/gcc-* is:
$ cd pmaports/cross
$ pmbootstrap aportgen gcc-*
Currently this is failing because the APKBUILD has been updated in
Alpine for gcc, but gcc has not been built for all arches yet. This
shouldn't prevent us from generating the proper updated APKBUILDs in
pmaports so just print a note and don't fail here.
I'm committing this directly to master as this currently breaks
test/test_aportgen.py::test_aportgen.
Device packages shouldn't depend on it anymore, in order to end up with
a smaller installation for ui=none this package only gets pulled in by
postmarketos-base if mesa is installed.

abuild traces shared library dependencies for binaries in built
packages, and adds all of them to depends. This is needed for the cross
gcc builds, as otherwise it will not add the isl dependency (currently
isl25).
With the crossdirect compilation method we mount the cross-gcc from the
native chroot in the foreign arch chroot. Due to the missing dependency,
isl was not installed in the native chroot, and so when attempting to
use that native cross gcc from the foreign arch chroot, it would try to
load the foreign arch isl instead of the native one. Resulting in lots
of the following errors (and of course not a working gcc):
Error relocating /usr/lib/libisl.so.23: unsupported relocation type 1026
I had probably added '!tracedeps' because abuild complains about it
otherwise... but as noted in [1] these complaints are safe to ignore.
Keep !strip for now even though it's not in Alpine's APKBUILD. I've
tried to build without and the build fails with:
strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input file `./usr/aarch64-alpine-linux-musl/lib/libgcc_s.so.1'

Add the subpackage, because g++-$arch depends on it since
12.1.1_git20220630-r6. This fix was already applied to pmaports, thanks
to ungeskriptet! Adjust the aportgen code to make sure this is added in
the future as well.

Do not build the foreign arch libgcc. We are using the one provided by
Alpine's binary repository instead, and when building it here and trying
to use it, we actually run into a conflict.
I tried setting BOOTSTRAP="nolibc" first since there is already logic to
then disable libgcc in the APKBUILD. But that also disables g++ which we
do want to build, so we can't use this.
Fixes: issue 2168
Remove it from depends, as the package has been removed in Alpine and
since quite some time we shouldn't have depended on it anyway.

Set CTARGET and CTARGET_ARCH on top of the generated APKBUILD and use
the existing code in the APKBUILD for build(), package(), makedepends,
subpackages. This is now possible, because the pmbootstrap parser for
APKBUILDs has been improved a lot since this was originally written and
because the Alpine APKBUILD does everything that was hacked in here,
like removing man, info directories and bfd-plugins if doing a cross
build.
This is now very similar to bootstrapping binutils for another
architecture via scripts/bootstrap.sh in aports.git.
Most importantly this sets --disable-gprofng, which fails to build
against musl and is the reason why our cross/binutils-* packages
generated from binutils 2.39.x didn't build anymore.

Here's an example of the properties this could generate:
deviceinfo_header_version="2"
deviceinfo_append_dtb="false"
deviceinfo_flash_offset_dtb="0x0bc08000"
Replace "args.arch_native" with the direct function call in order to
avoid passing "args" to all functions. This is a step to get rid of this
args-passed-to-all-functions pattern in pmbootstrap.
Replace "args.logfd" with "pmb.helpers.logging.logfd" in order to avoid
passing "args" to all functions that only use it to write to logfd. This
is the first step to get rid of this args-passed-to-all-functions
pattern in pmbootstrap.
Newly generated binutils package has file conflicsts with
non-cross binutils.
ERROR: binutils-2.37-r3: trying to overwrite usr/lib/bfd-plugins/libdep.so

Fix the generator to produce package that does not include these plugins.
The -p arg is suppose to point to the folder where the dtc program
resides (if it is not found in PATH). If we use an _outdir, which the
template currently does, then the arg needs to be -p
$_outdir/scripts/dtc/, and not -p scripts/dtc/, as scripts/dtc/ only
contains the dtc source code.
The python variant of dtbTool, that we currently use, does not use
this arg as it does not run dtc in a shell. I suppose the argument
was added only for compatibility with other dtbtools.
New ports shouldn't use that architecture; and devices whose CPU only
supports armhf aren't really useful for anything anyways.
This will also make the suggested/default architecture be armv7
(architectures[0]).
Previously it always used native (x84_64) arch for apkindex
version check.
As pmb.aportgen.core.alpine_apkindex_path() already has arch
parameter, use it to look up correct APKINDEX.
Also fixup test.
Generate APKBUILDs with dependencies sorted and placed one per line.
The dependency lists changed are
- depends in pmb/aportgen/device.py
- makedepends in pmb/aportgen/linux.py
Sort dependency lists in test/test_aportgen_device_wizard.py

Adds QCDT templates for Spreadtrum and Exynos SoCs
When "pmbootstrap init" is executed, after the boot image analysis,
if the device is QCDT, then the user is asked about the SoC vendor.
Example:
[HH:MM:SS] SoC vendor (spreadtrum/exynos/other) [other]: exynos
After that, the corresponding template is picked.
Packages like binutils-*, busybox-static-*, gcc-*, grub-efi-*, musl-*
are only needed for the native architecture during cross compilation.
Don't bother with trying to build them for other arches to save time and
to avoid getting stuck frequently at "armv7/binutils-aarch64" etc.
A few people like to use pmbootstrap on aarch64 hosts (e.g. PineBook
Pro), so let's make it available for aarch64 again when we can build
aarch64 packages natively in CI and bpo. (They do get stuck there right
now, because of qemu user emulation.)

Use a deterministic mirror URL instead of CDN for aportgen. Otherwise we
may generate a pmaport that wraps an apk from Alpine (e.g. musl-armv7)
locally with one up-to-date mirror given by the CDN. But then the build
will fail if CDN picks an outdated mirror for CI or BPO.
Some Mediatek devices have a special 512-byte header around the zImage
which must be generated so the device boots.
Support for that exists for a while in postmarketOS but detection was
missing. Add that.
