In the new model, we have three sources of storage:
- /mnt/var: Mountpoint for a disk with the label "var"
- /mnt/cfg: Mountpoint for a disk with the label "cfg"
- /mnt/tmp: Mountpoint for a ramdisk
These sources are used for the following overlays:
- **/cfg, /home, /root**: /mnt/cfg if available, else /mnt/tmp
- **/etc**: /mnt/cfg if available and the boot/etc finit condition is
set, else /mnt/tmp
- **/var**: /mnt/var if available, else /mnt/tmp
- **/var/lib**: /mnt/var if available, else /mnt/cfg if available,
else /mnt/tmp

The nano editor has been shown, over and over again, to be more
user-friendly to complete UNIX/Linux beginners than even Mg.
Also, change the default pager/less to be less (again), it was
very confusing to have less be most and more just be more. We
recommend scripts to use pager and edit/editor to call system
safe defaults.

Regrettably, the latest additions of functionality to Infix have also
incresed the size of the ramdisk. We expect it to go down slightly
before v1.0, but considering we'll add Frr before then it's better to
be realistic of our needs when run in GNS3.

- Replace ISC dhclient with dhcpcd => IPv4 link-local address
- Enable openresolv to handle /etc/resolv.conf for us
- iproute2 was a dependency of ifupdown2, but now we need to
enable it explicitly
- Ensure we have the same default system interface in infix
- Reenable BusyBox applets disabled when enabling ifupdown2, for
infix derivatives that may prefer a smaller base image.
Note: ifupdown-ng prefers dhcpcd over udhcpc, so no risk for conflict by
reenabling udhcpc.

This change adds a `factory` tool, and login shell, that schedules a
reset of all writable (overlay) filesystems. The tool is set up with
the suid gid flag to allow all members of the wheel group to perform
the reset.
The login method only allows reset from /dev/console, to prevent any
malicious reset over SSH. This should be further constrained later
when PAM is introduced.
To initiate factory reset from the login prompt, use login/pass:
factory/reset
To initiate factory reset from the shell, call
factory
Both methods are interactive by default, but two command line options
can be used to modify the behavior:
-r Skip reboot, and "reboot now?" question
-y Assume yes to all questions, for non-interactive use

This change checks¹ if the system does not have a br0 interface, creates
a default one consisting of all switch ports in VLAN 1 of br0.
On top of br0 a vlan1 management interface is created with DHCP address.
For emulation and test purposes, a way to supply tap interfaces from
Qemu, and pass off as if they were regular switch ports, is added.
____
¹ obviously a better way to detect a factory-reset device is needed,
not all systems running infix will need or want a br0 interface.

Do not wait for dhclient to acquire first release, this will cause
unnecessary delays when booting, and not provide any real value in our
system. Because we will never have any service that depends on a
network address being set when starting up, this is a feature that
Finit can provide for us as a condition when starting such services.
Also, never set global "README" in multiple policy files, this will
cause ifupdown2 to crash in horrific ways.

The default policy for management interface prefix in ifupdown2 is
"eth", which currently clashes with Infix default switch port names.
Changing our naming policy of switch ports to "swpN", mimicing the
naming using in Cumulus Linux, would also help. To be discussed.

We will not use features like batman, vxrd, or openvswitch. Also, the
clagd and vxrd addons are not in ifupdown2, so likely proprietary ext.
by Cumulus. Dropping them makes "unknown addon" warnings go away.

Unlike debugfs, cfgfs is currently an optional feature in Infix, so

This change replaces the BusyBox ifup/ifdown applets with the full-blown
ifupdown2 package. To get it fully working we also need to enable a few
missing kernel features: ipv4 + ipv6, multiple routing tables, and some
netfilter features. We take the opportunity to sync kernel features in
between the two archs as well.

Upstream device trees specify regular PSCI support for SparX-5i, but
the U-Boot that Microchip ships does not actually support it.
Therefore, wrap the upstream version to disable PSCI and revert to
spin tables for SMP bringup.
