fixes #8879

create a symlink to latest netboot release. This is to make it easy to
create urls without version numbers like:
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-release/releases/x86_64/netboot

ext4 module can handle it.

bit

If Xen is present and Grub is used, like on UEFI systems, use multiboot2
to load Xen and the dom0 linux kernel.

Enable grub modules:
 * part_gpt: to read files from GPT partitions
 * multiboot2: to load multiboot2 kernels, like Xen
 * gzio: to load Xen which is gzip compressed

In order to install abuild, lzip needs to be available. Add it to the list of
packages built in bootstrap.sh.

Fixes: 9674a649 ("main/abuild: add support for lzip source packages")

we dont need --extra-repository anymore but keep it for backwards
compatibility

standard iso is now vanilla kernel so it does not make any sense to have
a separata vanilla iso.

Also update xen to use vanilla kernel instead of hardened

apk-tools no longer depends on libfetch
build-base now depends on file

since commit 697e3045 the vanilla kernel
has a flavor suffix on vmlinuz. Adjust the boot loader configs
accordingly.

we need add a dependency that provides /bin/sh

Commit 3b5707d3 moved ghc from
testing to community, but bootstrap.sh was not updated.

Strictly the 'efi' folder is not needed since it's in the efi.img.
However, converting .iso to USB stick is a lot simpler when the
EFI folder is in the .iso too. This allows just copying .iso contents
to the USB stick and EFI boot will work. While Rufus supports
extracting the boot files from efi.img, it was considered more
portable to add the copy. This also simplifies updating setup-bootable
to prepare EFI bootable disks.

- use efi.img as the image name (Rufus recognizes it)
- drop need for dosfstools, use mformat from mtools instead

Most other distros seems to do this
