The PPP will, in combination with tow-boot, boot with GPT on the
internal storage. We need to support that on postmarketOS and as a first
step, let's make it possible to generate GPT images and boot from that
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.

When running `pmbootstrap install`, pmbootstrap does not unlock root
when it completes. This patch allows `pmbootstrap install` to run two or
more times (without zap).

When installing dependencies for a package, conflicting (!) dependencies
are now deleted (with `apk del pkg`) whereas before a constraint for
their _absence_ was added (with `apk add !pkg`). Doing it the new way
around prevents creating deadlocks because a `!pkg` constraint will
prevent pkg from ever being installed without an explicit `apk del`
call.
Fixes: #2092
This removes the hard-coded installation of osk-sdl when specifying
--fde (or using the on-device installer) and instead determines the
unlocker package by taking the most suitable provider of
postmarketos-fde-unlocker (factoring provider priority and packages
selected for installation).
With this change applied, one can manually select an unlocker package to
be installed via
pmbootstrap install --fde --add other-unlocker

when blkid returns 2 while searching for existing pmos installations,
do not abort. That might happen if there is a block device without a
filesystem.

Fix the lint error. While at it, change the wording so it's clear it's
looking in pmaports instead of aports, use '' around the source package
just as the message does about the pkgname_depend, remove <> from the
link URL.
New message:
Could not find dependency 'so:libPocoData.so.80' in checked out pmaports dir or any APKINDEX. Required by 'nymphcast'. See: https://postmarketos.org/depends
Fixes: 81dc4c ("pmb.parse: show which package require the missing package")
* On newer samsung devices disabling these does the exact opposite of
what's mentioned in 50cdf04760
* With these enabled the device boots up just fine
The apkbuild parser could not handle cases where a line ends in a
comment but the value is not quoted.
E.g. this:
pkgver=1.0 # I'm a comment, look at me
was being parsed to a value like this:
1.0 # I'm a comment, look at me
... which is obviously wrong. This strips off any trailing comment on
the line, so it's parsed to the correct value.
fixes#2087
Properly assemble the required pkgname to fix:
$ pmbootstrap kconfig linux-postmarketos-allwinner
ERROR: Could not find aport for package: postmarketos-allwinner
Fixes: 6557e6 ("kconfig argcomplete: support full pkgname")
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).

The provider selection for "pmbootstrap init" added in this commit
is a flexible way to offer UI/device-specific configuration options
in "pmbootstrap init", without hardcoding them in pmbootstrap.
Instead, the options are defined entirely in pmaports using APK's
virtual package provider mechanism. The code in pmbootstrap searches
for available providers and displays them together with their pkgdesc.
There are many possible use cases for this but I have tested two so far:
1. Selecting root provider (sudo vs doas). This can be defined entirely
in postmarketos-base, without having to handle this specifically in
pmbootstrap.
$ pmbootstrap init
[...]
Available providers for postmarketos-root (2):
* sudo: Use sudo to run root commands (**default**)
* doas: Use doas (minimal replacement for sudo) to run root commands
(Note: Does not support all functionality of sudo)
Provider [default]: doas
2. Device-specific options. My main motivation for working on this
feature is a new configuration option for the MSM8916-based devices.
It allows more control about which firmware to enable:
$ pmbootstrap init
[...]
Available providers for soc-qcom-msm8916-rproc (3):
* all: Enable all remote processors (audio goes through modem) (default)
* no-modem: Disable only modem (audio bypasses modem, ~80 MiB more RAM)
* none: Disable all remote processors (no WiFi/BT/modem, ~90 MiB more RAM)
Provider [default]: no-modem
The configuration prompts show up dynamically by defining
_pmb_select="<virtual packages>" in postmarketos-base, a UI PKGBUILD
or the device APKBUILD. Selecting "default" (just pressing enter)
means that no provider is selected. This allows APK to choose it
automatically based on the "provider_priority". It also provides
compatibility with existing installation; APK will just choose the
default provider when upgrading. The selection can still be changed
after installation by installing another provider using "apk".
Note that at the end this is just a more convenient interface for the
already existing "extra packages" prompt. When using pmbootstrap in
automated scripts the providers (e.g. "postmarketos-root-doas") can be
simply selected through the existing "extra_packages" option.
At the moment, "provides" are only checked in the root package and not
in subpackages of APKBUILDs. Fix this by looking through the subpackages
as well.
At the moment we have to parse all APKBUILDs to find subpackages,
even if they are guessed easily shortly after. To speed this up,
let's guess first but verify the guess by only parsing that particular
APKBUILD. If the subpackage/provides is in there we seem to have found it.
The current install code looks a bit confusing, there is an existing
if statement for the ui and ui-extras package but the recommended
packages are already installed before with a check in a completely
different file. Make this a bit more clear by moving this to the
ui if statement instead.
