pmbootstrap netboot command exposes the generated vendor-codename.img
rootfs through nbd interface so that device can mount it and boot
postmarketOS without having any storage medium at all.

Replace "args.cache" with a global variable 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.
So I can finally run `pmbootstrap install --password 147147` and go and
make a cup of tea.
Based on MR 1919.

Support full linux-* package names in argument completion for
"pmbootstrap kconfig ..." command-lines and get rid of related PROTIP
messages:
PROTIP: You can simply do 'pmbootstrap kconfig check postmarketos-allwinner'
This improves consistency, as in other places we expect the user to
supply full package names as well (e.g. pmbootstrap build).
When running pmbootstrap on debian bullseye with the distro's
python3-argcomplete 1.8 from 2017, tab completion was broken. After
disabling stderr redirect to /dev/null, the error appeared:
TypeError: package_completer() missing 1 required positional argument: 'parser'
Support this ancient version of argcomplete too by setting None as
default value for parser (we don't use it anyway).

iwd seems like a promising alternative to wpa_supplicant. It uses crypto
implementations from the kernel, so let's make kconfig check aware of
the options it needs.
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.
With this option you can run
$ pmbootstrap kconfig migrate --arch <arch> linux-postmarketos-xxx-xxx
to perform safe kconfig upgrades between kernel releases.
"make oldconfig" will ask question for every new/renamed kconfig option,
so you have no chance to miss anything.
Fix this weird help output:
-mp URL, --mirror-pmOS URL
postmarketOS mirror, disable with: -mp='', specify
multiple with: -mp='one' -mp='two', default: h, t, t,
p, :, /, /, m, i, r, r, o, r, ., p, o, s, t, m, a, r,
k, e, t, o, s, ., o, r, g, /, p, o, s, t, m, a, r, k,
e, t, o, s, /
The option, --no-firewall, will disable nftables on boot in the image,
and print a warning message if it's being disabled in a device image
where the device's kernel should support running the firewall.

This can be used for example to sideload packages to
pmbootstrap's QEMU which is running on the port 2222
by default, as follows:
pmbootstrap sideload --host localhost --port 2222 --user user <pkg>
This adds a `--port` parameter to sideload subcommand.
If not specified, port defaults to 22.
Fix issues occurring when using pmbootstrap qemu with proprietary
Nvidia drivers as well as mouse misalignment issues on Phosh UI.

The sideload command runs the supplied names through the pmbootstrap
buildsystem to make sure they're up-to-date, then uses scp from the host
to copy the built apks to /tmp on the phone and installs them through
ssh.
If the --install-key option is set then it will also copy over the apk
key that's used for signing the packages built by pmbootstrap in case
the postmarketOS install on the device isn't build by the same machine
as you're sideloading from.
Move the numerous "install" arguments into an own function (as it was
done with actions added later). Categorize the options and update the
help output, so the options are easier to understand.
This adds a new commandline flag -E / --extra-space for
specifying the amount of additional space to be added to
the image size to work around cases where the automatically
determined size turns out to not actually be enough.
The value is also asked for in the "Additional options"
section of the interactive mode.
Fixes: #1904
This adds support for specifying an arbitrary git ref (e.g. commits,
tags, branches) to upgrade to. This can be useful if a specific commit
needs to be packaged instead of the latest available. Alternatively you
can also specify a branch to be used if the default branch is 'stable'
but 'develop' should be packaged.
This also removes old code to use the 'bionic' branch for UBports Lomiri
(formerly Unity 8) packages.
Let UI meta-packages specify apps in "pmb_recommends" to be explicitly
installed by default, and not implicitly as dependency of the UI
meta-package ("depends"). Therefore make these apps uninstallable,
without removing the meta-package.
Add pmbootstrap install --no-recommends to disable this feature.
Add initial support for the on-device installer in pmbootstrap. Let
pmbootstrap create a regular split image, then prepare a new installer
rootfs and copy the previously generated rootfs image into the installer
rootfs. Put the installer rootfs into a new image, with reserved space.
There is more to do from here, such as disabling the generation of the
user account when using --ondev. But this requires support in
postmarketos-ondev first, so let's build that iteratively.

Use mirrordir_pmos and mirrordir_alpine from channels.cfg to generate
the mirror URLs for postmarketOS and Alpine, which get written to
/etc/apk/repositories and which postmarketOS uses to download the
APKINDEX files.
Remove hardcoded "master" at the end of the postmarketOS mirror and use
mirrordir_pmos instead (which is "master" for the edge channel). Let the
postmarketOS mirror end in a '/' for consistency with the Alpine mirror
in pmb/config/__init__.py.
Remove obsolete --alpine-version. To experiment with a different Alpine
version, one should pass a custom --config-channels from now on.
Prepare to base postmarketOS on Alpine stable by parsing the new
channels.cfg file in pmaports.git, that describes which channel
needs which branches and mirror dirs from postmarketOS and Alpine.
Use the information in pmb.helpers.git.get_branches_official() first,
more is coming in follow-up commits.
Read the file from origin/master, so we get the latest fetched version
even if the last checked out master branch is not up-to-date (think of
currently checked out release branch instead of master, master will
never be updated to point to latest origin/master). Allow to override
the file with a new --config-channels parameter.
