[arch-releng] [PATCH 0/7] Making archiso deterministic

I've been working on making the output of archiso deterministic as
runs as part of the archlinux-reproducible effort.

This patch set represents some of those efforts. There's more that
needs to be done - notably there are some external dependencies on
things like the pacman mirrorlist generator, and pacman itself
adds INSTALLDATE timestamps, but I thought I'd kick this off as an
RFC if nothing else.

Note that I have assumed that the GPLv2 applies to this repository
and added it for clarity on my contributions. I have used the catchall
'Arch Linux Release Engineering Team' to represent previous efforts.
We can change this to represent individual contributions as required
- we have the Git history going back to 2006 and likely someone has
the previous history.

I welcome comment and testing.
