When plain '--rbind' is used, the 'umount' process executed later in the
setup process completely unmounts the bound filesystem, resulting in various
forms of breakage on the host used to do the setup. When a Live CD is used
and the system will be immediately shutdown/rebooted, this isn't an issue,
but in other scenarios it can be problematic.
Making the bind mounts 'private' avoids this problem. This patch changes
the setup guides for 'modern' distribution versions but does not touch
the older ones where this functionality may not be available.

This ensures that the Live hostname does not leak into e.g. OpenSSH
server keys. It's not a huge deal either way, but this is nicer.

"It turns out that stopping the service is only effective done shortly
after reboot (< 1 minute?). After that a kernel upgrade might be in
progress and the service stops only after the kernel upgrade is
complete. After the upgrade finishes, installation can continue.
However, stopping the unattended kernel upgrade can render the media
unbootable (because /etc/kernetl/postinit.d/zz-deccompress-kernel might
not have run)."
I guess we'll go back to telling people to wait (a possibly long time)
for unattended-upgrades to finish.

I don't know what I was thinking last night... this was _adding_
nosplash, not removing it.

The partition script for sfdisk does not need another layer of
indirection. Instead of being a shell script that writes an sfdisk
script, it is now just an sfdisk script directly. The shell variables
are interpolated by the heredoc anyway.

Just like the other instructions, add some groups that do not exist by
default but which are listed in the usermod command.

In this version, the swapoff is being run on the non-Pi system. I did
not mean for people to disable their swap (even temporarily).

Use swapoff to ensure swap partitions are not mounted prior to
'sgdisk --zap-all'

Update the getting started instructions for Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi to
use the 20.04.2 LTS release. Add `-a` flag to the `wipefs` command to
make sure it will erase any filesystem header from previous use of the
SD card.

The convention here is to add a blank line between commands that
cannot be copied-and-pasted together. apt is such a command, as it
will eat the input from the paste.
