ebfe66e494 scripts: fix CAMEO tag generator
What should have been only cosmetic changes, ended up in breaking the

7a73221332 build: use numeric-owner in ipkg-build
To create packages the `ipkg-build` script is used which double packs
`control.tar.gz` and `data.tar.gz` to a single package. By default it's
using a verbose username instead of a numeric value for files.

Official OpenWrt images (artifacts) are created within docker containers
which do not seem to contain those verbose usernames and instead
defaults to numeric values.

This becomes a problem when rebuilding public artifacts because other
build environments may offer verbose usernames and there the created
packages is different from the official ones.

With this commit `ipkg-build` always uses numeric values for user/group
and thereby making it easier to reproduce official artifacts.

scripts/gen_image_generic.sh: fix order of files in EFI bootfs
mtools recursive copy (mcopy -s ...) is using READDIR(3) to iterate
over the directory entries, hence they end up in the FAT filesystem in
traversal order which breaks reproducibility (rather than being added
to the FAT filesystem in a reproducible order). Implement recursive
copy in gen_image_generic.sh in Shell code instead, as in that way we
can force files to be copied in reproducible order.

8822a8d850 build: store sha256_unsigned in JSON
Introduce `sha256_unsigned` which is a checksum of the image _before_ a
signature is attached. This is helpful to compare image reproducibility.

Since the `.sha256sum` file is located in the $(KDIR) folder, switch
$(BIN_DIR) with $(KDIR) to simplify the code. The value of $(BIN_DIR)
itself is not stored inside the resulting JSON file, so it can be
replaced.

57f7a86c68 check-toolchain-clean.sh: workaround stray rebuilds
It seems, that there are currently some unhandled corner cases in which
`.toolchain_build_ver` results in empty file and thus forcing rebuilds,
even if the toolchain was build correctly just a few moments ago. Until
proper fix is found, workaround that by checking for this corner case
and simply populate `.toolchain_build_ver` file.

While at it, improve the UX and display version mismatch, so it's more
clear what has forced the rebuild:

 "Toolchain build version changed (11.2.0-1 != ), running make targetclean"

base-files: add eMMC sysupgrade support
Adds generic support for sysupgrading on eMMC-based devices.

Provide function emmc_do_upgrade and emmc_copy_config to be used in
/lib/upgrade/platform.sh instead of redundantly implementing the same
logic over and over again.
Similar to generic sysupgrade on NAND, use environment variables
CI_KERNPART, CI_ROOTPART and newly introduce CI_DATAPART to indicate
GPT partition names to be used. On devices with more than one MMC
block device, CI_ROOTDEV can be used to specify the MMC device for
partition name lookups.

Also allow to select block devices directly using EMMC_KERN_DEV,
EMMC_ROOT_DEV and EMMC_DATA_DEV, as using GPT partition names is not
always an option (e.g. when forced to use MBR).

To easily handle writing kernel and rootfs make use of sysupgrade.tar
format convention which is also already used for generic NAND support.

build cleanup logic can be tweaked later to clean the entire toolchain
and target dir with a different gcc version.

4eb4c3c469 scripts: add missing regex for dl_cleanup script
Regex xxx-YYYY-MM-DD-GIT_SHASUM was missing. Add the new regex to improve
and better find outdated package. This also fix a bug where some bug were
incorrectly detected as packagename-yyyy-mm-dd instead of packagename due
to them be parsed by the wrong parser

Example:

    openwrt-keyring-2021-02-20-49283916.tar.xz

5ef4608c02 build: store artifacts in JSON
Multiple profiles create artifacts, these should be stored in the JSON
file as well, allowing downstream tooling to show those files, too.

Artifacts don't have specific filesystems so only the fields `name`,
`type` and `sha256` are available.

Rename env variable names from IMAGE_ to FILE_ prefixes to reflect that
images, kernels and artifacts are added with the same command.

base-files: rename 'sdcard' to 'legacy-sdcard'
While an image layout based on MBR and 'bootfs' partition may be easy
to understand for users who are very used to the IBM PC and always have
the option to access the SD card outside of the device (and hence don't
really depend on other recovery methods or dual-boot), in my opinion
it's a dead end for many desirable features on embedded systems,
especially when managed remotely (and hence without an easy option to
access the SD card using another device in case things go wrong, for
example).

Let me explain:

* using a MSDOS/VFAT filesystem to store kernel(s) is problematic, as a
  single corruption of the bootfs can render the system into a state
  that it no longer boots at all. This makes dual-boot useless, or at
  least very tedious to setup with then 2 independent boot partitions
  to avoid the single point of failure on a "hot" block (the FAT index
  of the boot partition, written every time a file is changed in
  bootfs). And well: most targets even store the bootloader environment
  in a file in that very same FAT filesystem, hence it cannot be used
  to script a reliable dual-boot method (as loading the environment
  itself will already fail if the filesystem is corrupted).

* loading the kernel uImage from bootfs and using rootfs inside an
  additional partition means the bootloader can only validate the
  kernel -- if rootfs is broken or corrupted, this can lead to a reboot
  loop, which is often a quite costly thing to happen in terms of
  hardware lifetime.

* imitating MBR-boot behavior with a FAT-formatted bootfs partition
  (like IBM PC in the 80s and 90s) is just one of many choices on
  embedded targets. There are much better options with modern U-Boot
  (which is what we use and build from source for all targets booting
  off SD cards), see examples in mediatek/mt7622 and mediatek/mt7623.

Hence rename the 'sdcard' feature to 'legacy-sdcard', and prefix
functions with 'legacy_sdcard_' instead of 'sdcard_'.

8347d8b4fb base-files: add generic sdcard upgrade method
Add a generic sdcard upgrade method instead of duplicating code in yet
another target, and add a feature flag to only install this upgrade
method in targets that set this flag. Copied from mvebu.

7270d768da scripts/mkits.sh: Fix the hash algorithm paramter
The mkits.sh script help message states hash algorithm can be
specified using the -H command-line option, but it does not work
currently due to a bug in the script.

This patch fixes this problem by changing the option from -S to
-H and specify getopts parameter after it
