secureboot: add make_lxtrainer_secureboot.sh script
Eventually the lx-trainer image will come with secure boot automatically. But for now, we have to manually adjust the image. Here is a script to do that. Also update the README. Signed-off-by: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de>

lx-trainer is our disk image for all trainings.

+elbe generates the complete root filesystem on one partition (16GB in

+dd-multi.sh
+~~~~~~~~~~~
The "dd-multi.sh" script will copy the generated training image in parallel
to multiple devices. It will also:
- - create and format a 2nd partition
+ - create and format a 2nd partition filling the rest of the disk
- move /home/* to the new partition
- adjust /etc/fstab to mount the 2nd partition to /home
- unpack any provided layer tarballs

--layer=./stuff1.tar --layer=./stuff2.tar \

-Layer tarballs are unpacked from within the chroot'd trainer system as

+Layer tarballs are unpacked using --numeric-owner to avoid any accidental
+incorrect username/uid and group/gid mappings. For the trainer image, the

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+The "make_lxtrainer_secureboot.sh" script will convert the generated

+is located in the current working directory and it will modify this
+file in place.

+At some point this script will not be needed. But until then...
