In many cases, when fw is installed in /lib/firmware, some of it ends up
in the initramfs. In those situations, mkinitfs should run so that the
initramfs gets the latest fw. This will result in mkinitfs possibly
running in cases where it doesn't matter (i.e. device has fw in
/lib/firmware but none is used in the initramfs), but I think the
trade-off is worth it.
This also breaks the triggers= line into multiple lines so that it's
easier to review/maintain. We can't prepend whitespace on these lines
since the apkbuild parser expects dirs to be separated by ":"
Since mkinitfs / boot-deploy install sd-boot in the ESP, it makes sense
to always trigger mkinitfs when sd-boot is upgraded so that we always
boot with the latest supported version.

The only new thing in this version is the addition of a deprecation warning
when osk-sdl is installed in the initramfs.

Adjust the trigger script to only check for the new deviceinfo path. The
purpose of this check is to make sure that a full device package is
installed, and only in that case run mkinitfs. Otherwise, it will fail
because e.g. no kernels may be installed.
With recent changes, /etc/deviceinfo is a part of devicepkg-utils and
only /usr/share/deviceinfo/deviceinfo really indicates that a device
package is installed.
Remove the "exit 0" at the end while at it, it did not do anything since
the script runs with "/bin/sh -e". Add a comment to make this clear.

In some situations, like when building a device package with pmb,
deviceinfo may not exist in the rootfs. mkinitfs 2.2's behavior changed
slightly to fail if it can't find a deviceinfo, and this avoids calling
it in those cases.

Bugfix release, nothing major though. Full changelog:
https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/postmarketos-mkinitfs/-/tags/2.1.1
Note: git was dropped as a makedepends because it's not actually
needed... I forgot that I could just set VERSION at build time. Oops.

- Move base files/modules out of package, this package now only provides
the mkinitfs tool.
- Add all required modules, these were copied over from
postmarketos-mkinitfs and sorted
- Use new exe name in trigger
- Update triggers to ignore /etc, add /usr/share/mkinitfs. No packages
should be installing into /etc/mkinitfs/
- Support building/installing docs
- Add vendored deps
- Change trigger path
These directories should also trigger a rebuild so that any changes are
reflected in the initramfs.
This will include things like 'files', 'modules' and so on that weren't
previously triggering rebuilds of the initramfs...

This modifies to the postmarketOS ramdisk init to use the new pbsplash
tool for displaying splash messages, replacing the old fbsplash.
This also moves the show_splash call to run as soon as possible rather
than waiting for mount_subpartitions to run (which can take a while).
Explicitly depend on the version that allowed mounting with UUIDs, so we
can soon set this explicit dependency for devices that now make use of
this feature.
Dependency chain:
device package
-> postmarketos-base
-> postmarketos-mkinitfs
-> boot-deploy

By positioning this after extracting the initramfs-extra archive, we can
allow udev to exist in the -extra archive and not have any size impact
on the base initramfs archive.
Any hook that needs udev in the initramfs can get that support, provided
that the hook lists udev requirements in the .files config for it.
The variable describes the configfs function name to use, no matter if
it's rndis, ncm, ecm or any other function. So change the name of the
variable, the string we write to the configuration file and some
comments.
Instead of using the uevent helper binary, mdev daemon listens for kernel
events using the netlink interface. Then the requirement of enabling
UEVENT_HELPER for pmOS kernels can be dropped, as it's use is discouraged.
From CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER kernel config help:
> This should not be used today, because usual systems create many events
> at bootup or device discovery in a very short time frame. One forked
> process per event can create so many processes that it creates a high
> system load, or on smaller systems it is known to create out-of-memory
> situations during bootup.
Support for running mdev as a daemon was added in 2019 with commit [1].
From that same commit:
> Adds the -d option to run mdev in daemon mode handling hotplug events
> from the kernel like udev. If the system generates many hotplug events
> this mode of operation will consume less resources than registering
> mdev as hotplug helper or using the uevent applet.

Prior to this commit, the initramfs was unable to resize the root
partition if it was on a device backed by the device mapper. This commit
fixes that now that it is possible for the root partition to lie on a
device mapper device.

The previous `provides="mkinifs=3.6.0"` was a requirement because alpine's
kernels had a minimum dependency in `mkinitfs>=3.6.0` to make sure that
support for compressed modules existed. That requirement is no longer
in place[1], since the dependency is now on the `initramfs-generator`
virtual package. Also, since `initramfs-generator` is a virtual package
and not a real package, versioning it might mess up APK. The documentation
explictly states that virtual packages are those with unversioned provides
and a provider_priority. So to avoid having problems in the future, let's
strictly stick to it.

Alpine provides a 'initramfs-generator' thing now that the alpine
linux-* depend on explicitly. This sets postmarketos-mkinitfs to be the
preferred provider of that virtual package.

At the moment, mkinitfs loads some file system modules always (ext4),
some dynamically (brtfs) and some not at all (f2fs, vfat), expecting
them to be built-in.
To support generic kernels (e.g. from Alpine) properly, use the
partition type detection for both boot and root partition and always
load the necessary modules before mounting.
An increasing number of devices relies on the vfat file system in the
initfs (e.g. for UEFI boot). Having to add all the modules required for
it to work to deviceinfo_modules_initfs is annoying and inconsistent,
in particular for the additionally chosen "nls" modules. Since we
already bundle several file systems by default, let's just add vfat
as well to simplify this.
Ideally mkinitfs should detect the file systems chosen at install time
in the future and only include the necessary modules, but until then
this just adds a couple of kilobytes to the initramfs.
This replaces the previous `udevadm test` hack with a combination of
`udevd`, `udevadm trigger` and `udevadm settle` in order to coldplug all
available devices and make them available for use via libinput / unl0kr.

unudhcpd is a lightweight dhcp server that effectively implements static
assignment of a single IP on an interface regardless of client MAC, with
no lease. The end result is that a system connected to a pmOS device via
usb networking should always get an IP, and always get one very quickly.
This adds a new dependency on this dhcp server, and starts it in initfs.

Alpine patches busybox to support image alignment in [1].
So far we don't need to align the spalshes in postmarketOS as those are
generated per device. However with generic images it becomes impossible
to support multiple resolutions with this approach.
Set the alignment to "Center" in fbsplash config so generic system
images can reuse the splash on multiple resolutions.

Support for custom "Loading..." splashes was added in MR 1776, but
`unlock_root_partition` function is still hardcoding default "Loading..."
splash. Fix this behaviour by replacing usage of `show_splash` function with
`show_splash_loading`, which accounts for presence of custom splash.
Closes#759
