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.

During the build process, we set capabilities to elevate privileges of
certain progrems (e.g. ping). These have been removed during the build
process because of strip.
This patch collects any capabilities from all files that are being
stripped and restores them after calling strip.

After upgrading to Core Update 157, a few number of users reported their
systems to be unworkable after a reboot. Most of them (the systems, not
the users) were apparently missing the new Linux kernel in their Grub
configuration, causing a non-functional bootloader written to disk.
While we seem to be able to rule out issues related to poor storage
(SDDs, flash cards, etc.) or very high I/O load, it occurred to me we
are not calling "sync" after having extracted a Core Update's .tar.gz
file.
This patch therefore proposes to do so. It is a somewhat homeopathic
approach, though, but might ensure all parts of the system to have
properly processed the contents of an extracted archive. While we cannot
even reasonably guess it will solve the problem(s) mentioned initially,
doing so cannot hurt either.

The input validation did not work in the proper way. It allways
reported "No password" when using a provider which supports token and
the token has been given.
This of course is wrong and leaded to unuseable providers.
