Add debian-installer-images tarball to CI reprotest artifacts
The salsa-ci pipeline runs reprotest without an artifact pattern by
default, and reprotest defaults to testing "*.deb" generated as a result
of the build. A recent commit to the pipeline adds a new variable we can
use to specify the artifact pattern argument to be passed to reprotest.
The debian-installer build generates a tarball of images, so set the
variable to include it. For unknown reasons diffoscope exits with -9,
so we can't enable it yet to get a description of the difference other
than "Binary files differ".

gen-hd-image: Use pseudorandom label IDs
The sfdisk utility generates random IDs for the partition tables it
creates unless one is given. We currently pass fixed label IDs to it to
make the images reproducible. Replace these with a pseudorandom ID,
in line with the previous commits doing so for FAT32 systems.

Use pseudorandom volume ID for FAT filesystems
The mkfs.msdos utility generates a random volume ID filesystems it
creates and would break reproducibility, but we usually specify a fixed
"deb00001" value in an argument to make it reproducible.
Instead, use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable to generate a
pseudorandom value for the volume ID, similar to what live-build does
for their images.

Set C.UTF-8 locale for bdftobogl calls

Make seagate network-console uInitrd reproducible
The seagate network-console initramfs image is not reproducible because
it includes files created during build (with system-date timestamps) and
does not invoke cpio in a reproducible way. Fix the timestamps and pass
--reproducible to cpio to help make it reproducible.

Use xorriso to isohybridize x86 mini.iso images
Invoking isohybrid (via geniso_hybrid_plus_firmware_partition) on the
x86 mini.iso files inserts a GPT table with random disk and partition
UUIDs, with no way to set them to reproducible values. Apparently,
xorriso itself can do whatever isohybrid is doing.
Try to replicate the effect of geniso_hybrid_plus_firmware_partition
with xorriso arguments. The EFI part ends up broken with --efi-boot,
switch it to -e as that's what debian-cd also appears to be doing.
The differences from the old output as far as I can tell are the MBR
disk ID, EFI partition size in MBR, disk size being slightly larger,
disk size in ISO9660 headers, relocation of the backup GPT header to the
end of image, GPT disk and partition UUIDs, ISOHybrid partition rename
to ISOHybrid1 and the firmware partition now showing up in GPT.
Tested that it boots in QEMU with both SeaBIOS and TianoCore (OVMF).

Use gen-tarball to generate armhf tarballs
Files created during the build have timestamps set to system time, which
can leak into tarballs and break reproducibility if we just use tar. The
gen-tarball utility fixes timestamps, use it to create the currently
unreproducible armhf hd-media and netboot tarballs.

Set invariant mode, volume ID and label for mkfs.msdos calls
FAT filesystems have a volume ID that mkfs.msdos generates based on the
time if it's not specified. Upstream has support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
but it's not released, and not patched in Debian yet. So, filesystem
images it generates are not reproducible.
Some make recipes (incl. config/x86.cfg) pass more options to mkfs.msdos
to get a deterministic output. Copy those here as well with the same
values.

gen-tarball: Normalise file permissions
Tarballs include file permissions which depend on build user's umask.
There is a "normalise_permissions" call available in Makefile that fixes
these, in addition to a "clamp_mtiles" that fixes file timestamps.
Since the gen-tarball util fixes timestamps itself before creating a
tarball, make it also fix file permissions while doing so, like in the
make targets.

Normalise permissions of files included in mini.iso images
There is a "normalise_permissions" call available in Makefile that is
commonly used after "clamp_mtimes" in the Makefile. Although it looks
like xorriso etc. set basic permissions on their own in the images they
generate, it might be safer to pass normalised files to them, so do
that wherever we also are clamping modification times.

artwork: Drop the version from the Ceratopsian and Homeworld boot screens
It's misleading for the d-i snapshot that will install testing/unstable
to identify itself as Debian 13. Until Debian 14 artwork becomes
available, delete the "13" from the Ceratopsian boot splash artwork,
and move the logotype across to compensate.
Similarly, remove the "11" from the Homeworld artwork for completeness.
This is analogous to commit 074ca9ca "Drop the “12” version from the
Emerald boot screen", but for forky.

Use fakeroot instead of Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets
This makes the package not FTBFS with debrebuild and on
reproduce.debian.net.
debrebuild uses the buildinfo file generated on the buildd to reproduce
the package. But the buildinfo file does not safe the version of the
fakeroot package used so it can't use that and uses the unshare root
instead. unshare root can't handle mknod as done in build/Makefile so
the package FTBFS there. Instead this depends on fakeroot and rely on
build/Makefile re executing with fakeroot.
This reverts 680ab3ddc.
