The only changes we make to the default are to enable root login via a
password.
While `PasswordAuthentication yes` is the default, let's set it
explicitly to avoid potential issues in the future.
openssh 9.4p1-2 changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config to add support for
drop-in files in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/.
Using drop-in files avoids needing to keep up with changes to the
default /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Since systemd 245, IPv6PrivacyExtensions can be set not just per
connection, but also globally for all connection with a configuration
file in /etc/systemd/network.conf.d/.
Since tmpfs has a `noswap` option, use it instead of ramfs. Unlike
ramfs, tmpfs has a limit to its size.
This reverts commit 09b0428128 ("configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/etc-pacman.d-gnupg.mount: use ramfs").
1) wait for network-online.target before invoking curl
as there's no synchronization with network setup for this script
2) don't hide curl errors - it may be easier to debug the issues
3) add log and comments
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.

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.
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.

* virtualbox-guest-utils-nox package and vboxservice.service for VirtualBox.
* qemu-guest-agent package and qemu-guest-agent.service for QEMU & libvirt.
Implements #118.
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf:
Reduce the amount mirrors that reflector checks from 70 to 20.
This significantly reduces the time it takes to end up with an up-to-date mirrorlist during boot with the releng
profile.
Fixes#92
configs/releng/airootfs/root/.automated_script.sh:
Add the `--location` curl parameter (see `man 1 curl`) to allow for curl to retrieve a remote script even if the source
is being redirected (e.g. moved permanently) when using the `script=` kernel commandline parameter.
Fixes#113
