This protects against the case where /proc/cmdline contains garbage triggering grep to think it is a binary.
See e.g. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76468 for an example.
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/pacman-init.service:
Order pacman-init.service after time-sync.target, so that time on the host is synchronized before initializing pacman.
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/{dbus-org.freedesktop.timesync1},sysinit.target.wants/systemd-timesyncd}.service:
Enable systemd-timesyncd which aliases to dbus-org.freedesktop.timesync1 to ensure time gets synced on the host.
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/systemd-time-wait-sync.service:
Enable systemd-time-wait-sync to ensure time is finished syncing when time-sync.target is finished.
archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service needs an initialized pacman keyring to work.
Add BindsTo=etc-pacman.d-gnupg.mount to stop pacman-init.service if the mount unit suddenly enters inactive state.
The glibc 2.35-6 package ships with the C.UTF-8 locale included.
This means there is now a UTF-8 locale available by default and en_US.UTF-8, which requires editing /etc/locale.gen and running locale-gen, is not needed anymore.
Implements #175.
* open-vm-tools package, vmtoolsd.service and vmware-vmblock-fuse.service for VMware.
* hyperv package, hv_fcopy_daemon.service, hv_kvp_daemon.service and hv_vss_daemon.service for Hyper-V.
Related to #118.
When using tmpfs, it is possible that parts of it end up getting put in swap space (only if there is one).
This may not be desired, so use ramfs instead.
When booting the ISO, you can observe a message that systemd-gpt-auto-generator has failed:
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Reading EFI variable /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: open("/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f") failed: No such file or directory
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: EFI loader partition unknown, exiting.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: (The boot loader did not set EFI variable LoaderDevicePartUUID.)
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Failed to open device: No such device
Seeing as it started to appear relatively recently, it may be a systemd bug.
Since we do not want any GPT partition automounting in the live environment anyway, systemd-gpt-auto-generator can simply be disabled.
Fixes#164.
By default, syslinux interprets TFTP paths as relative to the location of the *.c32 modules, regardless whether a path starts with a slash. Without the `::` that I added to all of these paths, syslinux cannot find these files. It searches for them in /%INSTALL_DIR%/syslinux//%INSTALL_DIR%/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux, etc.
The curl --retry-connrefused option is used with not instead of the --retry <num> option to add an extra type of failure to retry on, without --retry <num> it does not retry at all even on a connection refused.

"rescue/installation actions for {grub,refind} should be run from
within a chroot" is a false statement. See --boot-directory of
grub-install and --root of refind-install. (In the case of grub,
there are people that do not use the ugly grub-mkconfig at all.)
Now that pacman 6 is around, enable parallel downloads to speed up the installation
process. Added to the baseline configuration to also improve the pipeline.
