* Fix#145: add deviceinfo_flash_offset_base again
* Add default OFFSET_BASE value in flasher if deviceinfo_flash_offset_base variable is not set
...and set correct default base value in create_bootimg function
Thanks, Pablo Castellano!
* Fixed typo
* Guide user about what are the next steps after flashing kernel and password
* Increased postmarketos-mkinitfs' pkgver and rewording

TLDR: Always rebuild/install packages when something changed when executing "pmbootstrap install/initfs/flash", more speed in dependency resolution.
---
pmbootstrap has already gotten some support for "timestamp based rebuilds", which modifies the logic for when packages should be rebuilt. It doesn't only consider packages outdated with old pkgver/pkgrel combinations, but also packages, where a source file has a newer timestamp, than the built package has.
I've found out, that this can lead to more rebuilds than expected. For example, when you check out the pmbootstrap git repository again into another folder, although you have already built packages. Then all files have the timestamp of the checkout, and the packages will appear to be outdated. While this is not largely a concern now, this will become a problem once we have a binary package repository, because then the packages from the binary repo will always seem to be outdated, if you just freshly checked out the repository.
To combat this, git gets asked if the files from the aport we're looking at are in sync with upstream, or not. Only when the files are not in sync with upstream and the timestamps of the sources are newer, a rebuild gets triggered from now on.
In case this logic should fail, I've added an option during "pmbootstrap init" where you can enable or disable the "timestamp based rebuilds" option.
In addition to that, this commit also works on fixing #120: packages do not get updated in "pmbootstrap install" after they have been rebuilt. For this to work, we specify all packages explicitly for abuild, instead of letting abuild do the resolving. This feature will also work with the "timestamp based rebuilds".
This commit also fixes the working_dir argument in pmb.helpers.run.user, which was simply ignored before.
Finally, the performance of the dependency resolution is faster again (when compared to the current version in master), because the parsed apkbuilds and finding the aport by pkgname gets cached during one pmbootstrap call (in args.cache, which also makes it easy to put fake data there in testcases).
The new dependency resolution code can output lots of verbose messages for debugging by specifying the `-v` parameter. The meaning of that changed, it used to output the file names where log messages come from, but no one seemed to use that anyway.
* Minimum version: 2.7.2 (which fixes two CVEs)
* Check the minimum apk version before doing something with apk and
before entering the chroot manually (previously, it has just checked
the apk-tools-static version, which gets used to set up the chroot)
* Reword the message for an outdated APK version. Most likely it is
just the outdated http cache, instead of a man-in-the-middle attack.

* New commandline parameter --mirror-pmOS, where the binary repository
URL for postmarketOS can be specified (empty by default as of now,
this will be filled with the real URL once the repo works)
* Do not build packages, when they are in the binary repository and
the version of the package in the binary repository is up-to-date.
* Add a testcase for pmb.build.is_necessary().
* The supported architectures are inside the config now
* Symlinks get created for that list of supported architectures now.
* During initialization, the architecture from the selected device
gets checked against the list of supported architectures. When
it is not included, a meaningful exception gets raised.
* the aportgen and (cross-compiler) build tests make use of the
new variable now (they had armhf and aarch64 hardcoded previously).
* allows to build/extract/list initramfs, add/del hook
* rebuild the initfs whenever running install or trying to flash/boot it
* flasher flash/boot: automatically set up a minimal rootfs with kernel and initfs,
if it does not exist yet
* The check for valid sdcard paths has been removed (because it
doesn't make sense for /dev/sd*, this might as well be a real
harddrive)
* New check: abort if any partition of the sdcard is mounted
* Automatically detect if the partitions are called "p1", "p2" etc.
or just "1", "2" etc. (/dev/sda1 vs. /dev/mmcblk0p1)
* pmb.helpers.mount.ismount(): check the source (new) and the target
path in /proc/mounts
* automatically find the chroot binary on Debian, even if it is not
in the user's PATH
* don't use subprocess.run anymore (remove related testcase, that explicitly
checked for subprocess.run usage, and used recursive globbing, another
post 3.4 Python feature, for the checks. A similar case can be added in the
future, but right now it's more important to get Debian 3.4 working and all
PRs are reviewed anyway.)
* pytest fixtures: don't use the newer "yield" feature, as this is only
supported in a newer version of pytest, than provided on Debian Jessie
From manually testing, most stuff works in Debian Jessie. However, the
testsuite does not run through - creating an empty .tar.gz with Python
fails for some reason (this is done in test_apk_static.py).
