* live-build/functions: mount tmpfs on /var/cache/apt and var/lib/apt, so

we don't have to leave empty space in our derivative images for packages
  that have been downloaded/installed/removed.  This normally isn't
  relevant for the installed system, since the root filesystem will
  auto-expand in place on the target disk, but lets us ship smaller
  images.
* live-build/functions: also call 'apt-get update' after mounting the
  blank /var/lib/apt.
