The current Debian stable, now 12, has dropped the exfat-utils package
that the exfat filesystem test requires to run. There is an exfatprogs
package that replaces exfat-utils, though it is not a drop-in replacement
because mkfs.exfat has differing command line option names. Note, that
we're not yet switching to using the exfat kernel module because this
allows the testings on kernels that do not have the module.
Update mkfs.exfat usage to adhere to the different exfatprogs usage. Also,
the exfatprogs mkfs.exfat, following the exfat specification more closely,
only allows a maximum of 22 bytes of UTF-16 characters in the volume label
compared to 30 bytes from exfat-utils. So the exfat label test is updated
accordingly.
Update documentation to note that exfatprogs is now needed and also
exfat-fuse, which is needed do the fuse mount.

The EROFS [1] is a lightweight read-only filesystem designed for performance
which has already been shipped in most Linux distributions as well as widely
used in several scenarios, such as Android system partitions, container
images and rootfs for embedded devices.
This patch brings in the EROFS uncompressed support. Now, it's possible to
boot directly through GRUB with an EROFS rootfs.
Support for the EROFS compressed files will be added later.

The exfat-utils package is an older package complementing exfat-fuse, and
was the only exfat tools for a long time. The exfat filesystem testing code
was written with these tools in mind. A newer project exfatprogs appears to
be of better quality and functionality and was written to complement the
somewhat new exfat kernel module. Ideally we should be using the newer
exfatprogs. However, the command line interface for mkfs.exfat is different
between the two. So we can't use the exfatprogs tools until the test scripts
have been updated to account for this. Recommend installing exfat-utils
instead of exfatprogs for now.

Now that the gdb_grub script uses the Python API in GDB, a GDB with Python
support must be used. Note that this means a GDB with version greater than
7.0 must be used. This should not be an issue since that was released over
a decade ago. Also, the minimum version of Python must be 3.5, which was
released around 8 years ago.

It helps to avoid an error on distros which has only python3 binary:
./autogen.sh: line 20: python: command not found
Use python3 as the default as python2 is EOL since Jan 2020. However,
check also for python which is on most distros, if not all, python2
because code still works on python2.
Although it should not be needed keep the possibility to define PYTHON
variable.
For detection use "command -v" which is POSIX and supported on all
common shells (bash, zsh, dash, busybox sh, mksh) instead requiring
"which" as an extra dependency (usable on containers).
Update the INSTALL file too.

This adds a new header, include/grub/safemath.h, that includes easy to
use wrappers for __builtin_{add,sub,mul}_overflow() declared like:
bool OP(a, b, res)
where OP is grub_add, grub_sub or grub_mul. OP() returns true in the
case where the operation would overflow and res is not modified.
Otherwise, false is returned and the operation is executed.
These arithmetic primitives require newer compiler versions. So, bump
these requirements in the INSTALL file too.

Upgrade Gnulib files to 20190105.
It's much easier to maintain GRUB's use of portability support files
from Gnulib when the process is automatic and driven by a single
configuration file, rather than by maintainers occasionally running
gnulib-tool and committing the result. Removing these
automatically-copied files from revision control also removes the
temptation to hack the output in ways that are difficult for future
maintainers to follow. Gnulib includes a "bootstrap" program which is
designed for this.
The canonical way to bootstrap GRUB from revision control is now
"./bootstrap", but "./autogen.sh" is still useful if you just want to
generate the GRUB-specific parts of the build system.
GRUB now requires Autoconf >= 2.63 and Automake >= 1.11, in line with
Gnulib.
Gnulib source code is now placed in grub-core/lib/gnulib/ (which should
not be edited directly), and GRUB's patches are in
grub-core/lib/gnulib-patches/. I've added a few notes to the developer
manual on how to maintain this.

pkg-config is apparently preferred over freetype-config these days (see
the BUGS section of freetype-config(1)). pkg-config support was added
to FreeType in version 2.1.5, which was released in 2003, so it should
comfortably be available everywhere by now.
We no longer need to explicitly substitute FREETYPE_CFLAGS and
FREETYPE_LIBS, since PKG_CHECK_MODULES does that automatically.

This allows providing separate LDFLAGS for build and host environments, which
are not necessary the same for cross-compile case. In particular, it allows
building host programs statically to not depend on presence of libraries at
run-time (e.g. MinGW DLLs on Windows) while continue to use default dynamic
linking at build time.
Also fix obsolete comments in confgure.ac - we do use different environment
for build and host now.
