Replace the explicit image name with a variable
The date of the raspbian buster images were wrong, as the downloaded image had a
date in june, and the convert script, had a date of march, thus the command did
not work out of the box.
This fix moves the script to use a variable for the images, to mitigate these
issues for the future.

The goals of the re-write was to achieve the following:
1. It should be easy to extend the tool to support other boards or distributions
2. We should not compile code in the tool (rely on binaries built elsewhere)
compiling code increases complexity, due to requirement of toolchains etc.
3. The tool shall not be designed around specific hardware/platform types
- This is the case today with the usage of --device-type flag
4 The tool should be to convert images without knowing anything about the hardware/platform
relates to above 3.
5. Configuration interface should be simplified
- command line flags -> configuration files
6. Platform specific code shall be provided trough “hooks”, and are not part of the “core” mender-convert code
7. It shall be easy to extend functionality
- support for rootfs overlay to inject user applications/configurations
- ability to override how the Mender Artifact is generated (to be able to sign and include state-scripts)
8. Code structure should be modular
- Eases Maintenance and possibility of making isolated changes

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

do we can always bring it back.

mender-conversion-tool with add-on scripts allow user to:
- shrink an existing embedded Linux image (shorter time of building final .sdimg raw disk image)
- restructure partition table of an existing embedded Linux image to follow Mender layout
- install Mender client related files
- install Grub related files for platforms supporting it
- patch U-Boot for platforms where Grub integration is not feasible (e.g. Raspbian)
- create Mender artifact based on the created .sdimg file
