Simon McVittie eeb4680557 Truncate /etc/machine-id instead of deleting it.
If /etc/machine-id exists but is empty, systemd will do tricks
with bind-mounts to ensure that a valid transient UUID is bind-mounted
over it, which is exactly what we want for a live system.

If /etc/machine-id does not exist, systemd-journald
will just fail, which is undesirable.

README.Python

live-build 4.x is transitioning from shell scripts to Python scripts.

In order to ensure a smooth transition without breaks until completion,
one component at the time is being rewritten and re-documented without
interconnection between them.

Once done, the newly Python sources will be shaped into modules and
subcommands properly.

Some notes on coding style:

  * live-build commands should be *prefixed* with the stage:
    chroot-includes, not includes-chroot; -> tab-completion

  * directories/files in the config directory should be *suffixed* with the stage:
    includes.chroot, not chroot.includes; -> sort-order

  * cli arguments should be *suffixed* with the stage:
    --mirror-bootstrap, not --bootstrap-mirror; -> tab-completion
