Images under a new name (#133)

A base image can now be created and uploaded under a name other than the BaseImage of the client's start.conf, without changing start.conf, e.g. to build noble.qcow2 on a client running jammy.qcow2:

linbo-remote -i <host> -c image_name:noble,create_image:1,upload_image:1
linbo_create_image 1 noble

On the server such an image is handled like a native one: it takes over reg, postsync and prestart of the image it derives from (sourceimage in its info file), files it already has are never overwritten. Differential images (qdiff) cannot get a new name. See Images under a new name in the README.

Please note

• Image uploads are only accepted from registered devices, also for native images: the client's IP must belong to a device in devices.csv whose machine account is registered (lmncli devices <ip>, column LDAP = Registered). Clients with a dynamic IP can no longer upload images. Devices of schools other than default-school are not checked for now. Refused uploads are logged in /srv/linbo/log/rsync-pre-upload.log, see TROUBLESHOOTING.md.
• An image under a new name must not overwrite a foreign image. Images uploaded under a new name before 7.4.21 have no sourceimage and can only be replaced again after adding them as BaseImage to the client's start.conf or adding sourceimage to their info file.
• linbo_upload reported every failed upload as successful, it now reports failures, and it refuses an incomplete image (size not matching its info file).
• Onboot commands (linbo-remote -p) show their progress in the splash; a failed onboot command is logged with its last output and the remaining onboot commands are skipped, like with -c.
• Not yet in WebUI/API: image_name (linuxmuster/linuxmuster-tools#46).
• New dependency: linuxmuster-cli7.
