EFI support: check + mount efivarfs to support Debian kernels >=5.10
CONFIG_EFI_VARS is no longer available since
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/
20146398c4599147244ed3ffc54f38d07fb8dea3
(tagged initially as debian/5.10.1-1_exp1 + shipped with kernel package
5.10.1-1~exp1 and newer, incl. 5.10.38-1 as present in current
Debian/unstable). Therefore the kernel module efivars is no longer
available on more recent Debian kernel systems.
Quoting from https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI:
| The older interface was efivars, showing files under
| /sys/firmware/efi/vars, and this is what was used by default in both
| Wheezy and Jessie.
|
| The new interface is efivarfs, which will expose things in a slightly
| different format under /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. This is the new
| preferred way of using UEFI configuration variables, and Debian switched
| to it by default from Stretch onwards.
CONFIG_EFI_VARS is no longer required, instead efivarfs seems to be
available starting with kernel v3.10 and newer (see linux.git):

| This registers /sys/firmware/efi/{,systab,efivars/} whenever EFI is enabled
| and the system is booted with EFI.
|
| This allows
| *) userspace to check for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi as a way
| to determine whether or it is running on an EFI system.
| *) 'mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars' without manually
| loading any modules.
|
| [ Also, move the efivar API into vars.c and unconditionally compile it.
| This allows us to move efivars.c, which now only contains the sysfs
| variable code, into the firmware/efi directory. Note that the efivars.c
| filename is kept to maintain backwards compatability with the old
| efivars.ko module. With this patch it is now possible for efivarfs

| efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfs
|
| Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and
| into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us
| to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable
| CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa.
|
| Furthermore, things like,
|
| mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
|
| will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the
| use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the
| efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.

fake-uname: fix gcc argument order and improve preloaded shared library
This includes recent changes as integrated at
https://github.com/sipwise/deployment-iso
Makefile:
- Fix gcc argument order: newer gcc versions have become more picky on
their argument order, due to the --as-needed default, and require the
libraries to be linked to, to be passed after the code/objects that
use them, otherwise they will get dropped as unused. This change is
required for compiling with gcc v10.2.1-6 as present on
Debian/bullseye (otherwise fails to execute with `undefined symbol:
dlsym`)
- Add `make check` target to run some basic tests
- Also get rid of *.o *.so files in clean target, adjust targets
accordingly to always clean and then build fake-uname.so afterwards
- Mark as serial-only via .NOTPARALLEL
fake-uname.c:
- Use hidden visibility by default, and export the symbol explicitly.
- Resolve real_uname() only once.
- Return early if the real_uname() fails, to avoid acting on bogus data.
- Call dlerror() before dlsym() to clear any previous errors.
- Compute the release member size from the utsname struct instead of
hard-coding it.
- Always NUL-terminate the relese buffer, so protect against very long
environment strings.

Add option --sshcopyid to authorise root login
Use locally available public keys to authorise root login on the target
system.
Similar to ssh-copy-id(1) (without the -i option) it checks if `ssh-add
-L` provides any output, and if so those keys are appended to
`/root/.ssh/authorized_keys`.

Add DHCP setting for Predictable Network Interface Names
Predictable Network Interface Names were missing the default

Added a Networking-Section in the man page to clarify how the network is

options --vmfile and --vm. Both options automatically enable the
--defaultinterface option and not the --nointerfaces option.

docs: add further and improve existing usage examples
There's no reason to say "use /dev/sda1 as system partition"

The --iso option also accepts mountpoint without any file: syntax,

Bind-mount /run/udev in target system as workaround for lvm2 issue #918590
Installation takes ages with lvm 2.03.02-1 if /run/udev isn't
available in the target system, causing messages like:
| WARNING: Device /dev/[...] not initialized in udev database even after waiting
10000000 microseconds.
Especially when grub package gets installed (which invokes
vgs and related tools) this takes forever and looks like a
failing installation.
This /run/udev bind-mount is a workaround required for Debian/buster's
lvm2, at least until #918590 is resolved.
