It was found out that autopkgtests didn't pass the NOW env variable
which is generally provided by the launchpad-buildd build and thus
the autpkgtests fail.
As part of addressing LP: #2054103 [1] an update to grub-pc added a feature to be able to ensure that grub-pc
installation can happen noninteractively on cloud images.
This change is equivalent to running
```
debconf-set-selections grub-pc grub-efi/cloud_style_installation boolean true
debconf-set-selections grub-pc grub-pc/cloud_style_installation boolean true
```
These were introduced optionally to determine the install device using
`grub-probe` dynamically instead of having to fill the `grub-pc/install-devices`
debconf entry.

Per the comments, BASE_SEED was initially used to identify the seed in the
flavor to use for identifying preseeded snaps, and later was also used to
identify which "minimal-remove" seed to apply to an image.
The first usage is now obsolete after a refactor; we now correctly detect
snaps from any of the included seeds without needing an explicit
declaration.
The second usage only applies to installer images that are NOT using layered
squashfs, since for these images 'minimal' is a separate squashfs layer
rather than a list of packages to remove after the fact.
Refactor this code to eliminate pointless definitions of BASE_SEED and
define it only for the subset of flavors today that:
- have a 'minimal-remove' seed
- are not using layered squashfs.

.
* live-build/auto/config: for ubuntu-server, consider the actual kernel
flavor when dealing with netboot layers - even if we don't really care.
If the previous if statement checking if PASSES_TO_LAYERS is true,
then the last return code be non-zero and a return statement with no
argument will return the error code of the if statement thus exiting
the script. This is not our intent. So we need to return 0 here when
layer name as already been registered
The unminimize script will try to install the lxd snap using the shim script
`/usr/sbin/lxd` from the lxd-installer package.
Previously `unminimize` was using `snap`
to install `lxd` directly which was being diverted by diverting the `snap` command.
This is no longer the case so we can remove `/usr/sbin/lxd` from the lxd-installer package
if it exists and then redirect any calls to `/usr/sbin/lxd` to `/bin/true`
This is a cherry pick forward port from Jammy livecd-rootfs version 2.765.37.
(cherry picked from commit 8b83212372)
mount_disk_image function expects root partition to be at number 1. But
some images require the root partition to be at other some other number.
For example, EKS Anywhere images for bare metal are used with Tinkerbell
deployment with a default configuration that expects the root device to
be found at /dev/sda2. The knowledge of the root device path is needed
to modify certain files in the root filesystem (e.g. cloud-init configs)
for the machine to join Kubernetes cluster control plane.
The partition number can be changed in the hook by "sgidsk --transpose".
Allow the hook to use mount_disk_image with custom root partition number
by making it an optional third parameter that defaults to 1.
This makes the hook ok to use cross-flavor.
We could also move glib-compile-schemas to a separate hook, to ensure we never
silently fail because glib-compile-schemas is broken/missing.
