AFAICS, this dep chain (syslinux->mtools->glibc-gconv-extra) is
the only reason glibc-gconv-extra is in the installer env. It's
quite large (8M). syslinux's dep on mtools seems to be due to
(one of) its installer(s) using mtools, but I don't think we
ever run that from the installer env; we only pull syslinux into
it to set up bootloader stuff for the installer image itself,
which happens in x86.tmpl and doesn't involve actually running
a syslinux installer, just copying files around.

As best I can tell, guile22 is only in the installer env because
we include gdb and gdb depends on the libraries from it. gdb's
dep is for guile scripting support, AIUI. I don't think any kind
of libreport or manual gdb debugging we'd do in the installer env
would need that support, and even if it does, the ccache does
seem to be a cache - docs say if the files are not present,
they'll be generated on the fly from the .scm format sources in
/usr/share/guile/2.2. So I think it should be safe to ditch this
cache, which is large (it takes up ~38M uncompressed).

This addresses most "no files matched!" and "no files to remove!"
errors in current F36/Rawhide. They mostly relate to packages
that are no longer pulled in at all, or whose layout has changed.
The entries for audit haven't been fixed for the /usr merge years
ago. In linux-firmware, all files have been xz-compressed at some
point, so the entries were not matching any more. The usbdux/
subdir contains only sources for the actual firmwares that are a
level above, and we don't include those in the package any more;
the actual firmwares are useless in the installer env, so this
removes them. util-linux was split into util-linux and
util-linux-core, so we have to add an entry for util-linux-core
and move the relevant excludes to that entry.

Prior to bc46724, we dropped several variants of DejaVu to save
space, including DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf, to which I think this
is the equivalent. I believe the idea is that it's not worth
half a megabyte just to get tuned rendering of italics in the
installer environment (where they're rarely used anyway); AIUI
in the absence of a specific oblique/italic font face, freetype
will produce one by slanting the regular face.

The dropped google-noto packages contain fonts of scripts for
languages that the installer is not translated into. Most are
obvious, but for the record, "lao" is for the script and
language also called Lao; "thaana" is for the script Thaana,
used for the language Maldivian.
sil-abyssinica-fonts was an older set of Ethiopic fonts used for
e.g. Amharic; we now prefer google-noto-sans-ethiopic-vf-fonts,
the installer environment does not need both.
Similarly, sil-scheherazade-fonts covers a similar range to
google-noto-sans-arabic-vf-fonts and paktype-naskh-basic-fonts,
which are now preferred.
xorg-x11-fonts-misc contains bitmap fonts for some non-Latin
scripts. I'm fairly sure nothing in the installer environment
should need bitmap fonts any more.

scp in openssh 8.7 will change to use sftp protocol. See
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/194 for details.
This enables the sshd internal-sftp implementation so that newer scp
versions will continue to work as expected. Note that the sshd service
is only running during the installation if inst.sshd is passed on the
kernel cmdline.

rngd should no long be needed, recent kernels have enough entropy out of
the box. This leaves it in the boot.iso but only enables it if inst.rngd
is passed on the kernel cmdline.

Since we're leaving pipewire-libs in, it'll still pull in liblilv
from 0.3.41 onwards. Currently liblilv is in the same package as
some binaries which we don't need, and one actually requires the
removed libsndfile, so we need to trim it.

We aim to remove all sound support from the installer root, but
this was never updated for Pipewire. This just started causing
compose failures because of a dep chain from pipewire to lilv.

With -joliet-long it allows longer filenames, but silently drops the
ones longer than 253 characters. Check for this and raise an error.

mkksiso cannot be run on an iso from another arch, some of the files and
tools are arch specific. Catch this problem and tell the user that the
iso doesn't match the host's architecture.

It is possible the source iso doesn't have an id, or there is an errorr
reading it. Raise an error when this happens to make it more clear what
the problem is.

Sometimes, depending on the buffering, or length of data being received,
the end of the data could be the 1st byte or so of a UTF8 character.
This would cause a crash when trying to decode the raw data buffer.
This switches it to only decode once a full line has been found.
It also adds tests for the LogMonitor class.
Marvell Prestera firmware has been split into its own subpackage,
so instead of stripping the files from linux-firmware, exclude
the package from the globed install command.
