The font size was reduced to fully capture the long live-build version.
Exported without Inkscape information.
Manually adjusted the coordinates to use integers instead of fractional
coordinates (for sharper conversion to png).
per layout from MR #199 discussion.
under "Advanced install options" we have:
- Graphical installer
- Text installer
- Graphical installer with dark theme
- Text installer with dark theme
- Installer with speech synthesis
under each of these we have a set of:
- Install
- Expert install
- Automated install
- Rescue mode
note that the 'automated' entries are moved up before the 'rescue' entries.
for hotkeys, the four entries above have hotkeys of 'i', 'x', 'a', and 'r'
respectively. ('x' is used instead of 'e' to avoid clash with standard
grub hotkey). this means that some entries that previous had no hotkeys
due to the flat list now have them. the other big difference is the main
graphical install entry going from 'g' to 'i' for consistency and the main
speech synth entry going from 's' to 'i' for the same reason.
furthermore, in the level above we have 'g' for normal graphical, 't' for
normal text install, 's' for speech synth, 'd' for graphical dark mode,
and 'k' for text dark mode.
the text-only sets are identical to the graphical ones except only for
dropping the graphical groups, simplifying maintenance, bringing clarity
to users of images (who may not have even made the image) that the set is
text-only, and keeping consistent hotkeys between graphical and text-only.
a 'start installer with speech synthesis' entry shortcut has been placed
at the top menu level alongside the 'start installer' shortcut.

following the presence of them in the official install discs.
also drops unnecessary word "graphical" from existing speech
synth entry, following official Debian install discs.
i've not bothered to update grub-legacy this time.

the default grub config has a quirk of using the syslinux splash when
present, which as a sidenote i believe is because only the syslinux script
has the code for converting an SVG (i've not researched to confirm).
the problem is that the default splash is such, with the text listing
package versions used, that this overlaps with the menu title in grub.
i've tweaked the "built on" and package details text to reduce its size
(bumped the line-height up slightly though) to avoid the overlap.
this was a pain in the *** to get done. inkscape likes to crash at the
slightest little thing like clicking on interface controls; each time it
saves it seems to swap a bunch of stuff in the file which can make a
hugely messy diff, i had to save, close, open, change, undo, and save
again, just to get a sain diff; and numerous times testing different sizes
and such in actual builds (rather than separate conversions) some of the
package detail lines would for some unknown reason decide to end up on the
same line as another, wth...
anyway, i've finally managed to get a new revision successfully created
and it seems bug free wrt. that same line issue to me, both converting
outside of live-build (in my sid host), and within a buster build. the size
of the text changed seems closer to the size of the actual menu entries
(there's no need for it to be bigger), and now is nicely clear of the menu
title.

opening the file in inkscape resulted in a dialog explaining that inkscape
used to work on a 90 DPI basis but switched to 96 DPI for better
compatibility reasons, and wanted to convert the file.
this is simply the result of it having done the conversion.
it advised that for documents not intended to be printed that there should
be no noticeable difference. i checked the output and it seems identical
to before. i tried to look at the actual diff, but it's a lot of noise,
most of which is just reordering, and i gave up, since the output looks
identical i'm not going to worry.

more fitting now that we've moved the advanced installer entries
out to a different submenu, leaving just memtest (and HDT on
syslinux).
the advanced.cfg file is also renamed to utilities.cfg in the syslinux
case, but in a backwards compatible way of moving the user advanced.cfg
file over the new one, if the user provides a file with the old name.
alternatively we could just leave the old name in place, but that would be
a little odd.

there are several files of which identical duplicate copies are held in:
- share/bootloaders/extlinux
- share/bootloaders/pxelinux
- share/bootloaders/isolinux
- share/bootloaders/syslinux
it is a pain to maintain this from a development standpoint, having to
copy modified config files into the other directories each time changes
are made and mistakes have been made before due to this.
this creates a new folder share/bootloaders/syslinux_common and moves them
to this new directory.
it also expands the binary_syslinux stage to use it, with it now
constructing the installed set of bootloader files as follows:
1. copy {LB_DIR}/bootloaders/syslinux_common
2. copy {LB_DIR}/bootloaders/{syslinux|isolinux|extlinux|pxelinux} on top
3. copy config/bootloaders/syslinux_common on top
4. copy config/bootloaders/{syslinux|isolinux|extlinux|pxelinux} on top
note, to explain part of the binary_syslinux change, instead of just
copying the correct bootloader folder full of the files, we now make the
target bootloader specific directory, then copy the contents of source
directories into it.
