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.

SUBARCH=visionfive2 is used to build images for the StarFive VisionFive 2
boards. For the device-tree we assume board revision 1.3B.

For the SiFive HiFive Unmatched board we create a pre-installed image using

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.

RISC-V boards tend to boot slowly.

The Nezha and the LicheeRV boards do not have enough memory for an initrd
with most modules. Therefore the number of included modules has to be
reduced.
Create file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules_list.conf
to set MODULES=list.

Executing the command in the background and creating and empty file '2'
was never intended.
As the messages are information only redirecting to stderr would not make
sense either.

The LicheeRV Dock board comes with only 512MB of DRAM so the only difference
with a Nezha image is the fact that we have to remove
cryptsetup-initramfs package which makes the initrd too big for the
board to boot.

Current Kinetic GCE image builds are failing with the following error:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.19.0-1004-gcp
zstd: error 25 : Write error : No space left on device (cannot write compressed block)
E: mkinitramfs failure zstd -q -1 -T0 25
Seems like after `linux-gcp` update from 5.15 to 5.19 `linux-modules` package
has gotten ~40MB larger and with that GCE image builds are over the edge wrt
available disk space in chroot.
Bumped up disk image size for amd64 to 3.5GB to match the sizes used by armhf
and generic images.
The cloud-init bug (see LP:1968873) got fixed now so using a sshd
config snippet should work now.
This partly reverts commit aa1be5eaaa
but uses now 60-cloudimg-settings.conf instead of
10-cloudimg-settings.conf .
While merging the VisionFive support, we removed the installation of
u-boot-menu for the Unmatched by mistake: fix this by reinstating it.

This change triggered a bug in cloud-init (see LP:1968873). cloud-init
does not recongnize sshd options set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ and
cloud-init modifies directly /etc/ssh/sshd_config which gets then
overwritten by settings from /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ .
This reverts commit b54d24ff33.
