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 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.

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.

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.
While merging the VisionFive support, we removed the installation of
u-boot-menu for the Unmatched by mistake: fix this by reinstating it.

The image created uses a UEFI bootflow, so we install grub for this board
only. We also need flash-kernel to install the dtb where grub can find
it.
This image is specifically architectured so that it can be installed on
a "factory" board, meaning using the u-boot firmware which was
originally implemented for Fedora, so we need the p3 partition that
embeds a uEnv.txt file to tell u-boot what/where to load next stage.

Define the image layout for the Nezha board.
The U-Boot SPL based boot0 may be installed starting in sector 16 or 256.
As sector 16 is incompatible with GPT partitioning use sector 256.
The primary U-Boot image is expected to start at sector 32800 and its
backup in sector 24576.

This reverts part of a change causing regression with vmware import due to the

LP: 1969664 tracks an issue related to the deprecation of rsa+ssh on
Jammy+ openssh server, coupled with upstream vagrant bugs, that cause
Jammy vagrant images fail to bootstrap due to ssh negotiation issues.
Moving to a different key algo from the upstream insecure key matches
Jammy's expectations, and works with older vagrant versions.
vagrant >= 2.2.16 hosts are unaffected by the issue, as an upstream
change was made. This change keep compatibility with newer vagrant
versions as well.
Readding this file per reviewer's request until CPC splits the

Due to how `disk-image` file is structured, it builds BIOS and UEFI
images at the same time. However, certain images (e.g., GCE images)
require only UEFI image to be built, BIOS image is being simply
discarded. This results in longer build times.
Splitting out `disk-image-uefi` would allow images to use it instead of
`disk-image` and thus avoid building unused BIOS images.
`disk-image` now depends on `disk-image-uefi` for backward
compatibility.
Currently the RISC-V preinstalled server images come with partitions that
are only 1 KiB aligned. Ext4 may use 4 KiB block size. The existing
misalignment leads to decreased performance.
Decrease the size of the loader2 partition by 34 512-byte blocks. This
results in 1 MiB alignment of the EFI and root partitions.
The remaining loader2 partition size of close to 4 MiB is still large
enough for U-Boot or a future EDK II.

It could be resolved by adding serial port in VM

Seriaol port1 has been configured as default so
