minimized cloud image policy, introduced in version 23.10.16, is to not install recommends for any package
installs during build. This is to keep the image as small as possible. This also extends to
the grub related packages.
This solves the problems detailed in LP: #2037075 and aligns other arches more with amd64 install of
grub/shim packages for both minimized and non minimized ubuntu-cpc cloud image builds.
With the introduction of the 6.5 kernel for mantic on 13th September ago we are seeing image build failures
on the armhf builds. The build failure was `No kernel output for generic-lpae!`.
Introduced in the 6.4 kernel and therefore now also in 6.5 there is no generic-lpae flavor anymore. it's just generic now.
As such this commit updates the expected flavour for armhf to generic.
This is needed following the addition of the new boot partition. This
also gives us the opportunity to refactor the logic and use a case
statement instead of ifs
In order to support better support Full Disk Encryption on the clouds,
the boot assets have to sit on an un-encrypted partition. We've tried
mounting the ESP on /boot before but it didn't work as /boot has to
support linking for DPKG to work and the ESP has to be FAT.
ubuntu-cpc project binary hooks were not all producing .filelist files as they were not using
the create_manifest shared function.
This commit ensures the disk-image-uefi, disk-image-ppc64el and disk-image-uefi-non-cloud hooks create
a filelist during build.
As a result of not installing recommended packages the packages required to run `grub-install`
are no longer installed by default.
To ensure we can successfully run `grub-install` we install both `grub-pc` and `grub2-common`
packages.
As a result of not installing recommended packages we have dangling symlink `/boot/initrd.img.old`
As per the preceding `/boot/initrd.img` cleanup. Cleanup of `/boot/initrd.img.old`
only happens if it is a dangling symlink.
These `rm` commands also have `--verbose` flags now to make it easier when debugging logs
EDK II is available for the StarFive VisionFive 2 board. As it is larger
than U-Boot we need to increase the size of the loader 2 partition to
accommodate it.

Now that we have the cloud-minimal seed for minimized cloud
image builds, we should drop all the workarounds and hacks
we once needed when we were using the server seed. We can
directly use the new metapackage and get rid of the tasks and
other autoremoves, et al.
Remove kvm-image altogether.
Previously for minimal image replace_kernel function replaced virtual
images with kvm, and called force_boot_without_initramfs. Now simply
call force_boot_without_initramfs for minimal image without replacing
kernel flavour.
This also means minimal images can now be built for arm64 and armhf.

Up to now we have used u-boot-menu for preinstalled images for the SiFive
HiFive Unmatched and Unleashed boards and GRUB for all other RISC-V images.
The choice was made because RISC-V GRUB was not available when the SiFive
boards where released.
Let the Unmatched and Unleashed board preinstalled images use GRUB.
Simplify the code.

Canonical Public Cloud's project seems a bad place to build images for
hardware devices however this is how things were done a we now need to
maintain this.
The recent change to mount the ESP on /boot breaks those images, instead
of adding more hacky things in the hook, create a dedicated target for
those images and use a different hook to build UEFI images.
This is required by the new UEFI binary hook as we mount the ESP on
/boot and the ESP filesystem doesn't support symlinks.
We keep symlinks for s390x images which do not use UEFI anyway.
This is driven by online encryption scenarios. In order to efficiently
encrypt the root filesystem without modifying the partition layout, the
kernel should sit in an un-encrypted /boot partition. Instead of
creating a new partition that would change the default partition layout,
we mount the ESP on /boot. We also need to then bind mount /boot on
/boot/efi because that's where Grub expects the ESP to be located.
missing a && between icicle and visionfive, led to /boot/efi still being
in place, and grub-install running instead of exiting the func.

This allows to consolidate linux-kvm and linux-generic kernel
flavours. This brings the perfomance benefit of linux-kvm flavour to
all cloud and pre-installed images. It does trade data-safety.
