[PATCH v11 0/8] Migrate to mmdebstrap

[Anton Mikanovich <amikan@ilbers.de>]

Switch Isar from debootstrap to mmdebstrap.

It makes isar-bootstrap target ~10..30% faster on both cross and native
rootfs types. Some measurements on qemuarm64-bookworm (required debs are
predownloaded and used during deb-dl-import):

- 20s vs 28s for "isar-bootstrap-host"
- 1m32s vs 1m48s for "isar-bootstrap-target

Also mmdebstrap support using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for images reproducibly
out of the box. But the main advantage is an ability to remove sudo for
debootstrapping later on (this needs "uidmap" package installed).

This patchset was successfully tested with following downstreams:
- cip-core
- meta-iot2050
- xenomai-images

This change breaks Debian Buster support as host distro, but previous
isar-bootstrap (with Buster support) still can be selected by setting
in local.conf:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_bootstrap-host ?= "isar-bootstrap-host"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_bootstrap-target ?= "isar-bootstrap-target"
