With amd64 build target calling `update-grub` no longer works and fails build with error
```
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
```
`/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh` is part of the grub-pc-bin package.
We are seeing this now on xenial as grub-pc-bin is now removed during build as part of fixing
bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/2036195.
To resolve this we mark grub-pc-bin as manually installed so it is not autoremoved.
As we are running grub-install ourselves for a specific target we need to make sure to install that
target first which means this will not be solved by changing dependencies of the grub packages.
Change mount option for ubuntu-cpc images from "defaults" to
"umask=0077". ESP partitions might contain sensitive data and
non-root users shouldn't have read access on it.
Multipass on Mac OS X requires standalone kernel and initrd artifacts
to boot.
Also call update-initramfs on all installed kernels. We only have one
kernel installed, so we don't need to specify an explicit version.
amd64: always install grub-efi-amd64-signed
shim-signed does not depend on grub-efi-amd64-signed in Xenial.
Historically, Xenial did not always ship with signatures. This is
different than LTSes after Xenial where this is the case. A future SRU
for grub should change this, but for now ensure to install the signed
package so that secure boot systems can actually boot.

Backport vmtools version in vmdk (LP: #1893898)
Backport
LP: #1893898 describes missing vmtools version from the vmdk headers.
The version should be added as ddb.toolsVersion = "2147483647" however
the sed was no longer replacing a ddb.comment field with the tools
version. Rather than subbing ddb.comment with toolsVersion, this commit
deletes ddb.comment (which the comment mentions could cause errors),
and adds the correct value. There was no visibility into the descriptor
during hook creation, so debug statements were added. This allows us to
quickly verify in the logs that bad statements are removed (the possibly
offending comments), as well as ensuring that the toolsVersion is added

Make Ubuntu Vagrant box 40G. (LP: #1580596)
Vagrant images were previously put at 10G, but this was a regression
from Trusty, in which they were 40G. This made it a tough sell for
users to upgrade if they were using a Ubuntu desktop experience.
This change does not impact disk usage as Vagrant with the virtualbox
provider dynamically allocates space with the VMDK. On a test system,
the VMDK took up 1.1G of disk space according to df, and after
creating a 2G file in Vagrant, the VMDK grew to 3.1G.
Therefore, users who are running on a system with little free space will
not see adverse effects if they upgrade to a new vagrant image

Xenial builds with core18-based snaps pre-seed core snap instead core18
and snapd. This patch is a backport of snap pre-seeding functionality
that is snap base aware.
When we encounter a failure in 'lb binary' the launchpad builders can
only surface the build output from stdout. If the binary hook failure
implicates the archive we can not determine fault without the apt
proxy log. This patch will dump the proxy log to stdout to aid in
debugging these failures.
Revert exclusion of makedev from buildd chroots, as it turned out not to
be the problem. Instead, fix up /dev/ptmx to be a character device node
rather than a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx, in line with the discussion in
https://bugs.debian.org/817236; I think this is safer than
cherry-picking the fix to debootstrap at this point in a stable release
cycle.
LP: #1844504
In parallel builds where a list of image targets are provided the build
may produce binaries that are not part of the named set of targets but
are created by series dependencies. These implicitly created binaries
may be generated by multiple builds but are unused as our convention for
the ubuntu-cpc project is to only consume binaries from the explicitly
named image targets; this avoid overwriting the same object by multiple
parallel builds.
This patch adds support for a 'provides' keyword for series files. It can
be specified multiple times per series file. The field is used by the
make-hooks script to generate a list of output files created explicitly by
the named image targets. The list is saved to the "explicit_provides"
file in the hooks output directory. In the case of the "all" target
this list would be empty. This list is consumed by the "final.binary"
hook file.
This patch adds support for optional final.binary hooks in hooks.d/base
and/or hooks.d/extra. These final.binary hooks are always included as
the last hook(s) if either exist with the hook in "extra" running last.
The base/final.binary hook includes logic to parse the "explicit_provides"
file generated by the make-hooks script and remove any binary output not
explicitly specified.
Some series files named unnecessary dependencies, specifically
disk-image, to keep output of implicit artifacts consistent between
parallel builds. These unnecessary dependencies are removed in this
patch.
