With the new mantle container image referenced by the scripts repo we
don't need the mantle copy in the SDK anymore.
Drop the mantle package and the unused kola-data package.
Found this while checking why I was still seeing lots of
!!! Section 'gentoo' in repos.conf is missing location attribute
messages while building. Turns out that after the last sync of portage we
stopped applying patches from files/. This was caused by a local variable
definition of PATCHES that was overriding the global one.
This might be a sign to drop them or we can refresh them, as they do fix bugs
that have been hit in CoreOS in the past. I opted to refresh them, and inject
them into the local variable.
This was already being done for gcc but not for binutils. Binutils is
also slotted and when we run the sdk (stage3/stage4) job in the CI, the
seed sdk already contains crossdev packages that we may want to update.
Crossdev currently uses binutils 2.36 (stable), while the SDK and sysroot both
build binutils 2.37 due to keywording. Kernel modules built within the
developer container fail to load due to relocation errors. Add the same
keywords to cross-*/binutils packages so that the versions match.
If a GCP image is tagged with GVNIC support, GCP will replace the default
virtio nic with the more optimized GVE NIC. Enable building the kernel module
for that.

The SDK container does not exist for arm64 and is quite heavy. We
currently also resort to a unconditional rebuilding of mantle inside
the SDK.
Use the new mantle container image to run kola tests, and pin its
version through a text file that gets updated by GitHub Actions.
Azure ARM64 instances entered preview, so produce images for them regularly
with every release now. Flatcar has supported Azure ARM64 since the first
release with the 5.15 kernel, which was something like 3139.0.0
The "init" repo has a systemd unit with lines that should be kept in
sync with upstream. Normally changes are not expected but in case there
are some, it may be good to be aware.
this is required to keep "packet" in the SDK linguo while the user can
use "equinix_metal" term.

The container performs multi-queue optimizations for ssd and network devices
which requires touching /proc and /sys/ mounts which systemd-nspawn usually
mounts readonly. Allow the container to modify those by setting the appropriate
environment variable (found via https://systemd.io/ENVIRONMENT/).
and add missing dependencies on dev-python/distro and sys-apps/coreutils. We
need to bump the version to 20190124 because:
* 20180611 is not compatible with python 3.9 because of missing distro module and
trying to access os.errno (instead of importing the errno module). Also why we
need the dependency on dev-python/distro
* 20190124 is the last version before the repo was split and reorganized which
would require more work to the ebuilds
The coreutils dependency is necessary because the scripts call basename/nproc/cat
but previously coreutils was pulled in by the following dependency chain:
(dependency required by "app-admin/eselect-1.4.16::portage-stable" [binary])
(dependency required by "app-eselect/eselect-python-20160516::portage-stable" [binary])
(dependency required by "dev-lang/python-2.7.15::portage-stable" [binary])
(dependency required by "dev-python/boto-2.48.0::portage-stable" [binary])
(dependency required by "app-emulation/google-compute-engine-20180611::coreos" [binary])
(dependency required by "coreos-base/coreos-oem-gce-0.0.1-r5::coreos" [binary])
(dependency required by "coreos-base/coreos-oem-gce" [argument])
This chain seems to not hold any longer and we should be explicit about
dependencies.
