The Classic builds served for a while as an introduction to classic
embedded systems, with a user managed read-writable /etc. Today we
decided to firmly take the plunge into the future with NETCONF and
focus on our core platforms aarch64 and x86_64 (for Qemu).
The reasons are several: reduce overhead, simplify build and release
work, as well as manual testing, since Classic builds do not have any
automated regression testing.
The Classic builds may be resurrected later in a dedicated project.

- Create per-arch unique distribution file names
- Source .gns3a information from /etc/os-release
Instead of attempting to create unique file names by hard-coding an
'infix-' prefix and extracting the "board" or "arch" part from the
defconfig, let's use the branding information from /etc/os-release
along with $BR2_ARCH.

Due to problems with using u-boot as loader¹ we decided to start the
system by calling the kernel image directly. The downside to that is
that, even though RAUC upgrades would work, the kernel would remain
the same.
Improvements to this are of course welcome.

¹) Must extract the built-in .dtb and merge with the Qemu .dtb at runtime
to be able to boot primary (or secondry) image.

This patch affects the various artiact file names in release tarballs.
The files /etc/os-release and /etc/version in the image use the actual
GIT commit (git describe), as per post-build.sh
Guiding principle: artifacts without release suffix are development or
"nightly" builds. Artifacts *with* release suffix are released ones.
This drops the $GITVER from .img files for consistency with the other
artifacts, e.g. .gns3a and .pkg.

With the introduction of the -classic defconfigs we need to also make
sure to name the resulting artifacts accordingly:
- infix-$ARCH.{gns3a,img,pkg}
- infix-$ARCH-classic.{gns3a,img,pkg}
For release builds the version (-23.02-$REV) will be appended before
the file suffix, e.g., infix-x86-64-classic-23.02-3.img

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
See board/common/rootfs/lib/infix/mnt for more information.
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.
