Use the start_weston.sh wrapper script again, and make it work with
lightdm. It makes custom weston configs possible, and allows starting
postmarketos-demos together with weston. The custom config logic uses a
default config from postmarketos-ui-weston unless it is overwritten
with a device specific config. Our default configs use fbdev in most
cases, as this is not the case since the change to lightdm, weston was
broken for most devices with downstream kernels, that only work with
framebuffer.
Lastly, set myself as maintainer for this UI. Resolves#289
Ollieparanoid extended this patch and made sure that this boots up
weston on the samsung-i9100 again.
Do not add --pixman-type to the commandline, when
deviceinfo_weston_pixman_type is filled out.
--pixman-type was enabled in Weston with a custom patch, that currently
prevents us from upgrading Weston (#136).
The option allowed working around broken framebuffer drivers in
Android downstream kernels, which reported the wrong color format.
But it only works for Weston, the right way to patch this would be
patching the kernels, and we have some approaches here:

@drebrez deserves much credit for this one for all the testing,
bisecting and for fixing everything. Thank you very much!

* devices which need a custom weston.ini ship it with a install_if
subpackage, so it only gets installed when weston is installed. This
sounds complicated, but is actually pretty clean in the APKBUILD.
* postmarketos-ui-weston: has a weston.ini.default, which enables
xwayland and uses fbdev as backend (because that's what most
devices use!). It defaults to the weston.ini.default if there is no
weston.ini (as installed by the device package).
* changed spaces to tabs for consistency, general minor refactoring of
device-APKBUILDs
Placing such files in /tmp/ is an unnecessary attack vector, as
@pavelmachek showed. All udev rules, which mentioned /tmp/weston.log
do not contain any path anymore.
Logs can be read with:
logread -f /var/log/messages | grep weston

* Allow to specify a custom username in "pmbootstrap init"
* Build chroots have "pmos" instead of "user" as username now
* Installation user UID is 1000 now (as in all other Linux distributions)
* Adjust autologins
* postmarketos-base: enable wheel group for sudo, removed previous sudoers file
* Implement safe upgrade path:
We save the version of the work folder format now, in $WORK/version.
When this file does not exist, it defaults to 0.
In case it does not match the currently required version
(pmb.config.work_version), then ask the user if it should
automatically be upgraded.
