using this extension allows for activation of the APA armbian package
archive and installation of the provided binary packages at image
creation time from within the Armbian Build Framework.
The goal of APA is to simplify maintenance of Armbian Core by moving
dependency logic and other packaging information into a separate space
and handle that meta-data with the proper distribution-creation and
-publication tools. Currently, much of this is done with fragile bash
scripting in Armbian Core instead.

- some boards have u-boot auto-detect the board variant, and thus we unset `BOOT_FDT_FILE`
- but grub needs to know...
- so introduce a `GRUB_FDT_FILE` that is checked in case `BOOT_FDT_FILE` is not set
- this way we can keep u-boot autodetecting and grub happy
- preserve BOOT_FDT_FILE into GRUB_FDT_FILE for `nanopct6`/`nanopct6-lts`
- Replace creation of `armbian-config.list` with
`armbian-config.sources`. This holds the same information in a newer
format, deb822. This does not affect `armbian.list`.

* Refactor armbian-config into install as external package
- https://github.armbian.com/configng repository is always present
- package can still be removed from the install list
Since this tool will have deeper integration with Armbian, we should probably drop possibility to remove the tool from the list.
* Enable armbian-config as extension
- a CLI image might have panfork or mesa, but not glx-mesa, mesa-utils, chromium, glmark which depend on x11/wayland
- this makes mesa-vpu useful for eg GBM applications
- only affects systemd-networkd-using builds (MINIMAL images?)
- does NOT affect NetworkManager
- this allows network administrators to give out IPv6 addresses over DHCPv6 based on the MAC address (which should be stable) instead of systemd's own notion of it's "DUID", which is based on the machine-id and changes on every redeployment
- one is actually general fix - recommened installation of library before installing rockchip-multimedia
- second is holding package before running upgrade as it wants to pull older library from kde repositories
- remove KDE Neon base files upgrade pin
