Updating to the latest stable release of Debian lets us drop a couple of patches that I'd upstreamed against live-build. Because these patches are dropped from the build.sh script, which is used for building all versions of the ISO, we need to use this newer container everywhere.

Ubuntu have switched to using zstd compression for .deb packages in impish+ , the support for bootstrapping from zstd compressed packages isn't in the stable version of Debian, so we backport it here.

The focal symlink now exists upstream and is just a symlink to gutsy.
jammy doesn't exist upstream yet, so we symlink that to gutsy too.

Use ar to extract packages which allows the backported zstd support.
Have debootstrap trust the ubuntu keyring we imported in build.sh.

live-build switch to SHA256 sums for the iso integrity check by default in this version of Debian.
The Ubuntu live iso integrity check on booting the live CD still uses MD5, so switch that over here or else we don't get the integrity check on startup.

No longer exists in jammy, seems to be an ancient package for supporting emulated middle/right buttons on PowerPC based Macs.
Packages in this list aren't even installed anyway, they're just put on the pool on the apt-cdrom repository in case something without internet access wants to install them.

We have the architecture specific version of grub-efi below. Removing this prevents confusion as to what architecture ends up in the pool on the iso.

We don't build i386 images.
This produces an elementary 7 image that boots, installs and generally kind of works, at least in GNOME Boxes:

By necessity, it changes a few things about the build scripts that are used to build all amd64 images (i.e. 6.0 stable/daily images too). However, it gets us on the latest version of the Debian container again, as that broke when Debian 11 came out.
I've tested this against 6.0 and 7.0 daily images and it seems good, but maybe we want to get the next 6.0 stable release out before we merge this, then we can test a few 6.0 and 7.0 daily isos before the next stable.
I've left some inline comments that explain some of the justification for the changes.
To test building a 7.0 image locally, check out this branch and run:
