Image task "do_copy_boot_files" deploys kernel, initrd, and device tree
binaries to the deploy directory.
When different images for the same target (e.g., "-base" and "-debug")
are built in parallel, DTB deployment may fail because DTBs do not
contain image-specific components in their filenames, unlike the kernel
and initrd. As a result, artifacts from different builds may be written
to the same location.
Here we deploy the DTBs and other image artifacts to subdirectories,
with names of distro image encoded to the path.
Note that this results in separate copies of the same artifacts being
deployed for each image build.

The current implementation tries to obtain machine name from the deploy
directory name, which relies on hardcoded path format. Add MACHINE to
the WIC environment and read it in isoimage-isohybrid-isar.py to fix
that.

Same machine, different distros, same image, same kernel, same dtb

- test_dtb_deploy_images
Same machine, same distro, different images, same kernel, same dtb

Both fail with:

When building different distros or images for the same machine (e.g.
phyboard-mira-bullseye and phyboard-mira-bookworm, or isar-image-ci
and isar-image-base), artifacts with identical names (e.g. DTB files)
may be deployed to the same location, resulting file conflicts and
build failures.
Deploy image build artifacts into a subdirectory named
${DISTRO}-${IMAGE_PN} to avoid such collisions.
Since the directory now encodes the distro and image name, remove the
${DISTRO} and ${IMAGE_PN} prefixes from artifact filenames to
keep the names short and clear.
Fixes test_dtb_deploy_distros testcase:
ERROR: mc:phyboard-mira-bookworm:isar-image-base-1.0-r0 do_copy_boot_files: The recipe isar-image-base is trying to install files into a shared area when those files already exist. Those files and their manifest location are:

The chosen pattern looks reasonable to me. I'm just wondering what OE
does when generating multiple images per target, and why it did not use
something similar. Any ideas?

For the same distro but different images, the kernel and DTB are
identical, and they were deployed only once. OE names the artifacts
with a timestamp and then creates symlinks pointing to them using
simpler names.

So, we are going do deviate at least from the pattern
<image-name>.wic/ext4/etc. by using <image-name>/<machine>.wic/ext4.
Can you identify images that also deviate in kernel (configuration) and,
thus, deployed images? Does OE solve the duplication of non-identical
images then automatically?

According to [1], OE can deploy multiple non-identical images or
kernels in the same dir, as each artifact includes a timestamp in its
filename. The symlinks point to the most recent built.
