"Inotify : write network config : use modern syntax for options"
changed pve-common's /etc/network/interfaces writer to prefer options
with '-' over those with '_'.
having the installer write the old variant makes any modification of the
vmbr0 interface via the API also change these three lines to the new
variant - so let's do it right from the start.

unconfigured: install busybox applets
We may be using a more minimal debootstrap nowadays, but busybox is
still available, so compensate that by telling it to install
symlinks in /bin and /sbin for those applets it knows and are not

unconfigured: heuristically detect high-dpi and adapt font/GDK_SCALE
Use the biggest terminus font we can get our hands on, and use the
Uni2 variant, which seems like an OK trade-off (the installer is
rather ascii anyway).
The detection uses the console columns in such away that high-dpi
screen should be detected but just wide-formats (like 21:9) should
not. This is a bit brittle, but even miss-detecting it should still
allow using it (the installer is made for 1024x768, which when
doubled still fits on WQXGA (2560x1600) and mostly on 1440p too.
It could be more robust to depend on edid-decode, but as physical
dimensions are not required there, and even if specified often quite
off, it's not a sure thing either. So go for simple first.

unconfigured: fix getting swap devices
Previously we used a ugly hack to extract the device from the whole
line returned by passing it to bash's `set`, which assigns remaining
arguments it does not know about (or after "--") to $1, $2, etc.
This is ugly due to:
* not using "--", so it could break easily
* being quite subtle in general, e.g., shellcheck does not likes
unquoted variable expansions, so one would add quotes around
breaking the actual use case
Just use awk to do both the grep and extraction, which is much
clearer to do

override grub default config via installer
We used to ship our own grub in the installer, originally due to ZFS
support, but we also used it to setup a slightly modified
`/etc/default/grub`. We do not need a self-build grub for technical
reasons like ZFS support anymore, so avoid the need to ship it and
move over deploying the config changes to the installer.
Just write out the whole config, much easier to see what's going on
compared to some `sed` calls.

zfs: assume that all devices are boot devices
the argument "but if someting in raid0 fails all is dead" is true but
misses the point completely, namely:
* firmware is weird and sometimes allows booting only from certain
devices, which we cannot know here
* potentially only the boot partition could be corrupted/broken/...
in which case another dev in the raid 0 could allow successful
booting
In short, we can only win if we use all devices as boot devices, the
512 MiB lost in some devices are negligible, and they resulted in an
uneven storage space distribution.

fix #3165: start chrony after DHCP client for an opportunistic time-sync
We had reports about problems stemming from skewed clocks during
installation, especially if their time was in the future during
installation and on first real boot got synced up, certs may not be
valid yet, RRD may has written data before that correcting time-sync
went through and errors afterwards, once time jumped back, and lots
of other issues.
So, depend on the modern and nifty, but still small, NTP
implementation `chrony`. Start its daemon just after we asked for a
DHCP lease, as then it can directly try to sync with one of the
(Debian namespaced) NTP pools time server.
In the worst case (no network, no server available) we are as good as
now, but if chrony can sync the time we avoid lots of issues and
breakages

Having a shell waiting on vt3, it improves user experience if it has the
same keyboard map as the X11 installer.
This is accomplished by setting the contents of '/etc/default/keyboard' and
then running `setupcon`. Simply calling `loadkeys` would not work, since the
keymaps in debian are generated from the x11 definitions by ckbcomp and then
saved in '/etc/console-setup/'.
currently the installer prepares the ESP disks for ZFS, irrespective of the
boot-mode (EFI, legacy) - in order to enable users to change the boot-mode
in the BIOS and keep the system bootable.
This patch updates /etc/kernel/cmdline in both boot-modes, which is necessary
to make the system actually bootable (else the systemd-boot config uses
the cmdline from the installer).
we now can create a datastore on new disk(s) over api/ui so a
default datastore on the root mountpoint makes no sense anymore.
