ReiserFS is an old file system which has not been actively maintained in
the Linux kernel for a long time. It is potentially going to be removed
soon which is why we shouldn't encourage people to create new
installations with ReiserFS any more.
This patch removes support for ReiserFS from the installer.
We should keep it enabled in the kernel for as long as it is available,
but we will have to encourage users potentially to re-install on a
different file system.
Since ReiserFS isn't very popular any more, I don't think that there
will be many users left.

This patch uses the new Zstandard algorithm to compress the file system
image on the ISO image. This comes with these advantages:
* Compression is about twice as fast than XZ with the parameters we have
selected here
* We use a lot less memory during compression and can therefore utilise
all processor cores of the build machines
* Decompression (when installing IPFire and when creating the
flash-image) is substantically faster
The downside is that the generated ISO image is slighty larger (~10MiB)
which I am okay with as a trade-off for the points mentioned above.

The installer was reading the kernel command line and was looking for
certain values which configured the installer.
GRUB appended a trailing newline character which was not accounted for
and caused that the last parameter was not correctly compared to the
list of possible keys.

System capabilities are stored in extended file system attributes
which are by default not stored in tar balls.
This patch ensures that they are packaged and extracted.

grub-mkconfig has written the device name instead of uuid's
because the /dev/disk-by-uuid node of the new filesystem was missing
run "udevadm trigger" to create this nodes before install grub.

The installer is showing a help line at the bottom of the
screen which is in some languages rather long. If it is
longer than the width of the screen, the installer used to
crash which is now fixed in this patch.
The first disk of the system will automatically be used and
a standard installation will be done. After that is done, the
system will reboot into the freshly installed system and execute
setup.
