91d6c39f06 kernel: Fix debug build and add debug symbols to installation
Fixed a bug with the debug kernel build where common/ was repeated
after the common path variable, resulting in the debug
confs never being picked up.

This exposed a subsequent bug where the debug conf
was included in other builds, this is also fixed by creating a
separate directory for debug confs with one file at the moment,
debug.conf that contains debug configurations and bpf specific
configs.

To enable kernel builds (specifically for bpf) the dwarves package was added
to the kernel dockerfile for the pahole package.

4c760fd031 build: add CONFIDENTIAL_GUEST variable for kernel
This change adds the CONFIDENTIAL_GUEST variable to the kernel
build logic. Similar to commit
976df22119, we would like to enable
the cryptsetup functionalities not only when building a measured
root file system, but also when building for a confidential guest.
The current state is that not all confidential guests use a
measured root filesystem, and as a matter of fact, we should
indeed decouple these aspects.

With the current convention, a confidential guest is a user of CDH
with its storage features. A better naming of the
CONFIDENTIAL_GUEST variable could have been a naming related to CDH
storage functionality. Further, the kernel build script's -m
parameter could be improved too - as indicated by this change, not
only measured rootfs builds will need the cryptsetup.conf file.

a786582d0b rootfs: deprecate initramfs dm-verity mode
Remove the initramfs folder, its build steps, and use the kernel
based dm-verity enforcement for the handlers which used the
initramfs mode. Also, remove the initramfs verity mode
capability from the shims and their configs.

a3c4e0b64f rootfs: Introduce kernelinit dm-verity mode
This change introduces the kernelinit dm-verity mode, allowing
initramfs-less dm-verity enforcement against the rootfs image.
For this, the change introduces a new variable with dm-verity
information. This variable will be picked up by shim
configurations in subsequent commits.
This will allow the shims to build the kernel command line
with dm-verity information based on the existing
kernel_parameters configuration knob and a new
kernel_verity_params configuration knob. The latter
specifically provides the relevant dm-verity information.
This new configuration knob avoids merging the verity
parameters into the kernel_params field. Avoiding this, no
cumbersome escape logic is required as we do not need to pass the
dm-mod.create="..." parameter directly in the kernel_parameters,
but only relevant dm-verity parameters in semi-structured manner
(see above). The only place where the final command line is
assembled is in the shims. Further, this is a line easy to comment
out for developers to disable dm-verity enforcement (or for CI
tasks).

This change produces the new kernelinit dm-verity parameters for
the NVIDIA runtime handlers, and modifies the format of how
these parameters are prepared for all handlers. With this, the
parameters are currently no longer provided to the
kernel_params configuration knob for any runtime handler.
This change alone should thus not be used as dm-verity
information will no longer be picked up by the shims.

systemd-analyze on the coco-dev handler shows that using the
kernelinit mode on a local machine, less time is spent in the
kernel phase, slightly speeding up pod start-up. On that machine,
the average of 172.5ms was reduced to 141ms (4 measurements, each
with a basic pod manifest), i.e., the kernel phase duration is
improved by about 18 percent.

3f16d29593 kernel: measured rootfs as argument to build-kernel.sh
By convention the caller of tools/packaging/kernel/build-kernel.sh changes
the script behavior by passing arguments, whereas, for measured rootfs
it has used an environment variable (MEASURED_ROOTFS). This refactor
the script so that the caller now must pass the "-m" argument to enable
the build of the kernel with measured rootfs support.

This, combined with the effort of caching builder images *and* only
performing the build itself inside the builder images, is the very first
step for reproducible builds for the project.

Reproducible builds are quite important when we talk about Confidential
Containers, as users may want to verify the content used / provided by
the CSPs, and this is the first step towards that direction.
