Per #112, excluding group specs just does not work in Kiwi at
present. For LXQt this is especially a problem because it means
the image fails to compose. The exclusion of m17n* *does* work
as it's a package spec, but because the exclusion of the
input-methods group does not work, dnf wants to install
ibus-typing-booster (part of input-methods), which requires
m17n-lib, and these conflicting requirements cause it to blow up.
So at least until the problem of not being able to exclude
groups is resolved, we should drop these.
Arguably, we should permanently stop excluding input-methods, at
least. Space constraints aren't as huge of a deal these days as
they used to be, on the whole; lots of folks have decent bandwidth,
lots of disk space, and large USB sticks. Input methods are
critical for CJK users; leaving them off the image makes it more or
less useless for them, which is a significant impairment. (Unless,
that is, input methods don't work properly in LXQt even if included
- I haven't tested this).

Many of the older supported AArch64 systems (particularly single
board computers) require a legacy MBR (Master Boot Record) type
partitioning to successfully boot.
Group exclusions do not seem to work anymore with DNF5, so explicitly
filter out unwanted packages. Additionally, add missing unwanted
packages from the kickstarts and refactor it to apply to both
KDE Desktop and KDE Mobile profiles.
As it currently stands, this doubles the size of the live ISOs,
which is completely unacceptable.
We will need to make the switch eventually, but we need to figure
out how to compress better first.
This reverts commit 1457e97008.
EROFS is newer, more performant filesystem that emphasizes speed
and integrity over SquashFS. It is also much better maintained and
friendlier for flash-based storage that live media is typically
run from these days.
The boot environment for non-cloud disk images was incomplete,
leading to images not bootable on real hardware. This change
adds the missing packages to fix that.

4096 blocksize is required for Macs, and some newer machines can see it,
but many other machines are not able to use the 4096 blocksize.

We discovered Neal got the regex for this wrong in the Kiwi
schema upstream. While he fixes that up, let's just ditch the
spaces here for now so it passes validation.

The bootable image support for ELN differs from boot.xml in
several ways:
* The images use XFS
* Several packages are dropped that are not present in ELN

We want to be able to produce live ISOs for AArch64 and POWER with
the correct GRUB configuration. This also sets us up to handle any
quirks for each architecture platform as needed later.
This also includes a change to bump the EFI partition size for ISOs
to 30MB so everything fits.
The initial-setup packages for firstboot were split into their own
comps group that ensures initial-setup-gui is configured to use
kwin as the Wayland compositor.
