This message has lately generated some confusion,
*** Data partition size set to default value: 128MB ***
1/9 Repartitioning raw disk image...
Detected raw disk image with 2 partition(s).
Calculating partitions' sizes of the Mender image.
Adjust Mender disk image size to the total storage size (2048MB).
Defined total storage size of MB is too small.
Minimal required storage is 60056MB. Aborting.
There are two things here that are hard to understand:
- Why does it not respect the 'storage-total-size-mb' setting of 2048MB?
- Where does the 60GB requirement come frome?
This normally happens if you have booted an image once on e.g Raspbian,
which will expand the rootfs to occupy the reamining blocks of the SD
card. And if you then do a "dd" dump of that image you will get that
expanded rootfs size. We normally recommend to run
"raw-disk-image-shrink-rootfs" on these type of images before
"from-raw-disk-image" command, which will ensure that the rootfs is
reduced in size.
To remedy the confusion here, simply run the
"raw-disk-image-shrink-rootfs" unconditionally when running
"from-raw-disk-image", this way it will not matter if the input image
has been "expanded" and the '--storage-total-size-mb' will always be
respected assuming that that the actual rootfs size does not overflow
the '--storage-total-size-mb' setting.
Because 'raw-disk-image-shrink-rootfs' is now a default, we also remove
the external command for this.

This signficantly increases time to generate Artifacts,
but also significantly reduces the Artifact sizes.
Example (gzip, lzma) on 2019-04-08 Raspbian conversion:
* Size: 354M -> 224M (-37%)
* Compression time: 1min -> 10min (10x)
Changelog: Use LZMA for smaller Artifact size (but slower generation).

When installing the client, call "make install" from source directory
and then modify the default setup with the user input (tenant token,
server url, demo...), eliminating this way the duplication on the
install recipe.
Also, setting the default build version to 2.0.0 beta
Other minor changes along the way:
* Include liblzma build dependency
* Change --mender-client parameter to be optional
* Abort on error in convert-stage-4.sh
* Bugfix in getting server_cert from command line option
* Error reporting when using unsupported device
* Clean-up obsolete --help example

We had dependency because we where using an older U-boot version
which only compiled with gcc6. Since we now have updated to a
2018.xx bootloader we no longer have this limitation and we can
use binares in 'gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf' upstream package

Note that there is not much actual code removed, but this commit
only removes the exposure to the user.
There is a big re-write incoming and is it not feasable to maintain
"convenience" commands that are exposed to the users. The expert
command paths are not tested in any automated fashion and the
likely hood of them breaking is pretty high.
We can always bring commands if there are requests from users.
Note that that the "raw-disk-image-shrink-rootfs" expert command is
promoted to a "General command" and is not removed. This has shown to
provide value to our users.

This is to sync up with the U-boot version that is in the latest
Yocto release. This will also resolve the requirement to run
gcc6, with 2018.07 we can build with gcc7 which is the default
in most distributions.
