this function takes one or more required stage fileS _plural_, and exits
if any are missing (or at least it does now after the refactor).
let's rename it to make things more clear

rather than have fixed stagefile filename strings at all in the scripts,
use `$(basename $0)` to use the name of the script (which is the same for
almost all cases anyway, and the stage files are supposed to be almost
exclusively unique per-script). we can thus simplify things by determining
the filename for most use cases within the functions themselves.
this does change the file used by a couple of scripts, affecting backwards
compatibility of executing live-build upon an existing partially or fully
completed build:
- binary_grub-pc used "binary_grub"
- chroot_includes used "includes.chroot"
care had to be taken for the following cases:
- there are some cases like bootstrap_cache, source_debian and
bootstrap_debootstrap which are dealing with more than one file, and/or
otherwise a filename that is not specific to the script itself exactly,
or should not be based upon its name.
- some cases like chroot_cache, bootstrap_cache and
chroot_install-packages need to append something to the end of the name
depending upon which pass/action mode the script is being executed with.
- furthermore in the bootstrap_cache case one of the filenames is used
within the bootstrap_debootstrap and thus needs very careful handling
to be certain that a change in filename of bootstrap_cache does not
break bootstrap_debootstrap.
Gbp-Dch: Short
- avoid all need to pass ".build/" path in stage file names into the
functions
- add a helper to remove a stage file (required to complete the above
properly)
- avoid duplicating filenames within scripts which makes them prone to
mistakes (some instances of which I've actually encountered and had
to fix)
Gbp-Dch: Short
Combine the check+create done in each script. (The original functions
are still callable as before, but a new combined `Aquire_lockfile`
function can be called instead, as now used).
Note, a further simplification could be done in removing the passing of
the lock filename in as a parameter since every use of the functions is
with ".lock". The lock functions already have a fallback to ".build/lock"
though. Checking the history, the fallback used to be for a system wide
lock, which was then replaced with this config-tree specific one. As long
as that is not used implicitly by 3rd-party hooks then surely we are free
to change the fallback to ".lock" and further remove passing in a name as
a param...?

Current versions of the project files are built upon versions published
and licensed by Daniel Baumann, but are modified copies of those files and
thus need to be marked as such per licensing requirements (afaik he did
not pass along ownership / licensing rights to anyone when he left the
project). We should also be careful to not be misrepresenting such
modified copies as being attributed to Daniel.
Adding a new copyright line referring to "The Debian Live team" should
suffice for this.
The authorship block in man pages has also similarly been updated.
Notes:
- tweaked a copy of daniel copyright lines stating 2014 instead of 2015.
both of these cases were in files that i had personally introduced in
some of my past merged commits that moved some code around. i don't know
why they stated 2014.
- binary_onie was introduced in 2018, so that has a 2018 date instead of
2016 unlike the rest.
- 'efi-image' is a 3rd-party (Canonical Ltd) work that we bundle, but it
has been modified by 674794a8f4 and
36a3ba7634 so I similarly added a
debian live copyright line.
- 'grub-cpmodules' is similar. it was only changed by the indentation fix
of 36a3ba7634 but modification is
modification, and this does help cover any possible future changes that
might be made.
Before Stretch there was an special amd64 kernel in the i386 arch repo.
So if you wanted to install an amd64 kernel alongside an i386 system
you did not need an additional arch repo.
Debian added multiarch support. That way you can install library packages
from multiple architectures on the same machine.
So there is no longer a need for having an amd64 kernel in i386 arch repo.
You can add an amd64 arch repo to an i386 arch system and fetch the amd64
kernel from the am64 arch repo.
live-build can be setup to use several linux kernel flavours in a single
image.
So in the days previous to this patch you could issue:
lb config --linux-flavours "486 amd64"
to use both 486 and amd64 kernel flavours.
Adding additional arch support to linux flavours poses two problems:
* Packages need to have its arch suffix (e.g. amd64:amd64).
If the suffix is not there apt-get insists on search amd64 kernel
package on i386 arch repo and, of course, fails to find it.
* The rest of the code which handles labels (bootloader config files)
or installed filenames (kernel images themselves) do not use the arch suffix.
This patch adds foreign architecture package support to
linux kernel flavours having taken those problems into account.
Practical example usage: i386 system and extra amd64 kernel.
First add amd64 foreign architecture in your i386 system
thanks to:
dpkg --add-architecture amd64
apt-get update
.
Finally enable amd64 kernel from amd64 arch alongside the
i386 system's 686 kernel thanks to:
lb config --architectures i386 --linux-flavours "686 amd64:amd64"
Also, we're not keeping this as ubuntu should just update their archive
structure for content files to match debian. Not worth keeping temporary
extra turns just for ubuntu.

Previously, we needed to keep the lb_* prefix as the scripts
could also be executed standalone. Since the lb wrapper is
mandatory since squeeze, we can drop this now.
