packages: roms: boot: add --help option.
The resources/packages/roms/boot script already work with the "help"
argument, however most of the other scripts use --help, so for
consistency we need to add --help as well.

packages: roms: Start adding automatic tests.
In GNU Boot, at the time of writing, we want to advise users to use
the GRUB images as they don't require users to modify their
distribtions.

However before the commit aec2e2f2bcf7693a05e416f9722e15b9d1854516
("Fix bug #65663 (No support for LVM2)."), most computers using LVM2
would not boot with these images.

The bug is now fixed by this commit, however since we ship a custom
grub.cfg and that it is very important to get it right, it's a good
idea to have some sort of automated testing for it.

It uses Trisquel (instead of other FSF certified distributions) for
several reasons:
- Trisquel can be used by less technical users, and so it's important
  to make sure it works as less technical users tend to have harder
  times finding workaround when things break.

- It's probably the GNU/Linux distribution that most current and
  potential GNU Boot users use.

- It is also maintained by a community that welcome contributions, so
  if we hit some issues, we can also contribute to get it fixed (we
  also verified that multiple times by contributing to it).

Note that we also welcome tests that reuse other distributions as
well.

packages: roms: boot: filter out invalid computers.
For some reason, 'make release' produces the following files:
- release/roms/gnuboot-lbwww-20211122-328-gafe01fb_default.tar.xz
- release/roms/gnuboot-lbwww-20211122-328-gafe01fb_fam15h_rdimm.tar.xz
- release/roms/gnuboot-lbwww-20211122-328-gafe01fb_fam15h_udimm.tar.xz

This commit works around that issue.

Switch to packages structure.
The various build scripts are scattered around in multiple
places. This make it hard for contributors to understand what they
need to modify.

Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.

So using that abstraction makes it easier to find where things are.

The scripts to install dependencies don't really fit the new structure
but for now we move them in to make sure that everything works
fine. This could be fixed later on and migrated to a single
dependencies packages by auto-detecting the distribution with
/etc/os-release.
