Avoid all of the duplication for each installer case
Note, what is done for the netboot case (which was previously missing)
still needs addressing

LB_DEBIAN_INSTALLER_GUI defines whether or not to provide the graphical
installer. the installer_debian-installer script pays attention to it and
does not download it if not wanted. the actual bootloaders however
(both grub2/loopback and syslinux) ignore it, which leaves broken and
unwanted menu entries. this fixes that.

available values currently are memtest86+|memtest86|none; "false" is
presumably handled for backwards compatibility
there is no need to handle this in individual scripts. the right place
to handle it is in Set_Defaults as now done

`false` and `none` make no sense as choices for this option. Here we
replace `false` with `none`, and remove `true`.
Note that `true` was treated as an alias for netinst (see the changes to
source_disk and and binary_disk).
For backwards compatibility we still allow `true` and `false` by converting
them to `netinst` and `none` respectively, whilst printing a warning to
encourage users to move to `netinst`/`none`.

- spaces replaced with tabs for consistency
- alignment of `;;` in some case statements changed for consistency

The specifics of what whould be done for it, beyond the disk info
label, needs addressing. (fixme comment left). (#952854).
Partial fix for #952846

Closes: #952846
update feb-2020: the bug report is marked as fixed in version 5.0-a7-1,
however there is no such patch merged for that tagged release, nor at all
in master, so this properly closes it.

Closes: #776532
Update feb-2020:
Both grub2 and syslinux were affected by this issue. Someone else's
patch fixing syslinux only just recently got merged in
2735f3bd38 but grub2 was still
affected. I had made patches for both in 2015 which never got
merged. This is the grub2 one.

Closes: #952843
all uses of this script pass in a suitable 'pass' param, and a previous
commit added a validation check. Having a fallback to 'binary' should a
param not be supplied is completely unnecessary.
fyi, this script is only ever called from the bootstrap stage and with
'binary' as the param, thus supporting being called with 'source' and
indeed having a 'pass' param at all is surely utterly pointless in itself.

18e0a2f325 "rebranded live sources" which
included renaming `source_debian-live` to `source_live` but accidentally
left the old file in place.
(Closes#952834)
apt-ftparchive is not able to differentiate between .deb and .udeb so
we have to install them in different pool directories so that we can
regenerate the Packages files without having the .udeb show up
unexpectedly.
Since binary_package-lists can overwrite the Packages files generated
in installer_debian-installer we have to ensure that it also updates
the Release file created formerly.
Ideally we should find a way to avoid the duplication of this logic.

In the binary stage, chroot is restored from cache/bootstrap, which contains
neither custom repo lists, nor keys. If local packages are present,
chroot_archives will call 'Apt chroot update' after adding custom repo lists
without adding keys. apt-get will then fail instead of warn as of apt version
1.5.
Closes: #941691
This makes it possible to build an image against a first distribution
(--distribution-chroot) and have the resulting image point to another
distribution (--distribution-binary). We can use this to build against a
snapshot and have the result use the original distribution that was
snapshotted.
