Move all package checksum related operations to the subshell and check
the old rpi-eeprom-images packages if rpi-eeprom contains no .bin
files.
The rpi-eeprom-config --edit and --apply option passes the -i flag so
checksums should have been skipped anyway.
* Add -a/--apply parameter which provides a one shot image for applying
a new configuration to the latest bootloader image and installs it
via rpi-eeprom-update.
* Print the live configuration if no arguments are specified.
* Add short flags instead of requiring verbose names.
* Make the errors more human readable instead of Exceptions
Add the -l option to return the latest bootloader EEPROM image. This
will be used by rpi-eeprom-config to provide a more convenient mechanism
for quick config changes.
Move these out of the directories selected by APT now that 2020-09-03
is the default release.
Preserve the releases which were promoted to stable in-case these are
referenced via scripts.
This command pipeline:
printf '00000000000000000000000000000000' | od -An -t x1 | tr -d ' '
produces this output:
30303030303030303030303030303030
*
Add a `-v` to od and a `\n` to the tr arg like so:
printf '00000000000000000000000000000000' | od -v -An -t x1 | tr -d ' \n'
to instead produce this output:
3030303030303030303030303030303030303030303030303030303030303030
Although it's unlikely that the revision value would generate multiple
lines or contain duplicate lines, it's better to be safe than sorry
especially since the changes to do so do not introduce any extra overhead
and use only POSIX-specified options/arguments.
It's also possible this code fragment could be copied and pasted elsewhere
to provide a "hexdump" of something that might be expected to generate
multiple lines and which may potentially contain duplicates. By fixing
the code here any breakage caused by such copying and pasting is avoided.

Removed the BUG information now that the mandatory bug template requests all of this information.
Now that netboot and USB MSD are no longer beta make this less prominent because users not familiar with Pi4 firmware should not be directed straight towards beta releases which might not work with their current OS
Normally BOOTFS is a local FAT partition but with NFS it's possible
that the NFS mount of /boot is not setup to have the equivalent
permissions as /boot. Set the .upd,.sig files to be readable by
all users to to avoid the case where the file is visible to root on the
Pi but is not readable by the TFTP daemon on the server.
Originally, rpi-eeprom-update was only for critically important
security or hardware compatibility requirements. Change the
text of rpi-eeprom-update to indicate that an update is available
rather than being required.
N.B. The systemd service runs with the -a flag which automatically
applies available updates because most users just use the release
folder which is only updated for major/critical updates.
