To streamline file installation, use an associative array to declare
targets, source file, mode, user and group owner.

Be verbose about the installation of files.

Add usr/share/factory/etc/profile.d/locale.sh, so that etc/ profile.d/
locale.sh can be replaced by a factory file in case /etc is deleted.
Extend tmpfiles.d setup for etc/profile.d/locale.sh.

Add /etc/arch-release as file (also to factory), as it is seemingly
still used by legacy OS detection methods (looking at you cmake).

Closes #6

Add valid locations in /usr/bin to shells: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33677
Remove custom umask setting from /etc/profile: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66068

Set architecture to 'any' as we are not shipping architecture-specific files in this package.
Set license to GPL-3.0-or-later to align with https://terms.archlinux.org/docs/terms-of-service/#_contribution_licenses

As we want to centralize the umask setting via `UMASK` and `HOME_MODE`
in /etc/login.defs, we rely on pam_umask.so and no longer need a custom
umask setting in /etc/profile.

- add /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid files (FS#68741)

- use systemd recommended settings for /etc/nsswitch.conf

- implement FS#72870

- make append_path function available to profile.d scripts (see FS#66338)

This will prevent root login with an empty password on a fresh Arch Linux
installation.

This is only about the default behaviour, you could restore the previous one by
running `passwd -d root'.
Please note, this is not recommended and behave inconsistenly between
applications.

We use a trick in the shadow file to set a default password which never allow
login by using this password.

The special value '*' is used in the shadow file.
We don't use '!', '!!', '!*' on purpose.
The special '!' char, which should mean password locked (and not account locked)
is interpreted by some applications (e.g. sshd) as an account locked and will
prevent root login.

This change was suggested by Lennart Poettering and Zbigniew Jedrzejewski-Szmek
to security@archlinux.org.
