Remove bootstrap support

Remove bootstrap support

['Clara Kowalsky' via isar-users]

Hi,

I noticed that with kas 5.0 debian-trixie and using own keys in 
isar-bootstrap, one runs into the issue that apt-key is deprecated with 
trixie.

With:
+PREFERRED_PROVIDER_bootstrap-host ??= "isar-bootstrap-host"
+PREFERRED_PROVIDER_bootstrap-target ??= "isar-bootstrap-target"
& setting e.g., HOST_DISTRO_BOOTSTRAP_KEYS
for the isar-bootstrap-host target, the do_generate_keyrings task 
returns an error:
sudo: apt-key: command not found

The isar testsuite is not covering isar-bootstrap.

The question is, is the support of bootstrap even needed nowadays or can 
it be removed from isar?

Best regards,
Clara Kowalsky

That's a bug...

I also expected that we can sunset the old bootstrap implementation,
but apparently this implementation just got a patch so that it can be
used for building openKylinOS via ISAR [1]. Looks like we still have
users on it.

local.conf"

Before blocking the removal of this untested legacy code due to some
not-yet-upstream-proposed extension, I would like to first of all see
that extension proposed and secondly get explained why openKylinOS does
not work with mmdebstrap. Or does it bring its own bootstrap?
