Installing the BLI module in the installer’s minimal EFI environment
deadlocks, leading to an unresponsive black screen. We now only invoke
insmod bli on real installations by detecting ISO boots via
/.disk/info. This prevents the deadlock and blank screen on installer
boots while ensuring BLI still loads correctly on standard boots.

This commit fixes SCALE boot issue in BIOS mode on X series hardware.
In BIOS mode, we were not able to see any output from GRUB on IPMI
since serial setup was not being done properly in SCALE installer's
grub.cfg.
Moreover, currently both boot options provide serial console options
for SCALE, due to which we always see Linux console on serial since
serial settings are saved by installer. User should only select
(115200 baud) boot option if they want serial console, otherwise serial
console should not be provided.

This adds linux kernel to the build. Due to size of repo and temporary files,
logic for building kernel is slightly different than other packages. A non-tmpfs
filesystem is overlaid as dpkg-src in this case and build on it rather than tmpfs.
Kernel config is generated in two or three steps during the build process.
make defconfig is run to generate a default config based on architecture, then
the TrueNAS-specific configuration is merged with it, and if a debug kernel is
requested (by uncommenting relevant line in build.sh), additional debugging parameters
are applied.
A customized copy of current kernel source is also mounted as /kernel inside the
package build chroot. A new key has also been added to the build_manifest "kernel_module",
which if set to true will cause the kernel image and headers to be installed in the
package building chroot prior to fulfilling the packages dependencies. Packages marked
such will also be rebuilt when the kernel package is updated.
A minor change to behavior in low ram situations (i.e. less than recommended amount) was
added to the effect that update files will not be generated on tmpfs. In testing this
stage of the overall build process was observed to be most likely to fail due to running
out of space on the tmpfs filesystems. Correspondingly, our tmpfs volume size was increased
to 12 GiB.
