We can now sync portage-stable/scripts with upstream because
bootstrap.sh is only used during stage2, and the changes we had are no
longer relevant. It seems likely the changes were already redundant
anyway.

As the net-analyzer/netperf stable version does not have a clear
License, the upstream Gentoo package has a masked ebuild that uses the
source from Github commit:
3bc455b23f
This change unmasks netperf-2.7.0_p20210121 for amd64 and arm64, in
order to use the MIT licensed version of netperf.
Also, added netperf to the github actions sync list so that it gets
automatically synced with the upstream Gentoo.

Enabled user session dbus in base image to support podman rootless mode.
Extension images can now be created from multiple packages by seperating
them with a comma. The podman sysext includes app-containers/podman and
net-misc/passt.
It can be enabled by adding podman to /etc/flatcar/enabled-sysext.conf.
Potential TODO: gpgme had to be added as BDEPEND to podman ebuild.
The Flatcar extensions get built by the GitHub PR CI but only their
content files get archived. Add the .raw image itself so that one can
copy it into the image (downloading it at boot time won't work because
this uses bincache - so one could get an extension image in case the but
version happens to match but it won't be the one that was built in the
GitHub CI).
The GitHub Action artifacts are compressed zip files which include
bz2 files which are either the raw .bin images that have many zero bytes
in the rootfs but the main data in /usr is using zstd compression, or
they are the qcow2 .img images which are compressed themselves (and of
course have the same /usr compression). The bz2 compression doesn't help
in our case.
Remove the bz2 compression layer. If in the future non-zip artifacts
are supported we can add it back for the .bin image only by using
explicit calls only for that file instead of the
--image_compression_formats= flag for all images.
The qemu and qemu_uefi_secure images have the same contents as the
qemu_uefi image which wastes space on the release server. A similar
case is the PXE vmlinuz which is the same as the regular one, too.
Set up symlinks for same images, and also detect this when compressing
to set up symlinks there as well. To reduce complexity, the qemu and
qemu_uefi_secure images are not supported anymore and the Jenkins or
GitHub CI will skip over them if specified. Users that build their own
images need to adapt, though.
The PXE image and its helper script is a very handy way to test an image
because it does not preserve state. One can boot the same file over and
over again without having to reset the image. One can also easily pass
in additional kernel cmdline options without having to set up grub.cfg.
