Outdated addons

[zeha]

Official builds use addons from grml-live-grml.git. There are a number of outdated things in there, which can probably go away.

• [ ] Migrate the still useful files into grml-live.git
• [ ] Remove grml-live-grml from daily-builds
• [ ] Check

JFTR, listing the addons from https://github.com/grml/grml-live-grml/tree/master/templates/boot/addons

• allinone.img: was added in 2008 and not changed since then. Current home page: https://schierlm.users.sourceforge.net/bootdisk/index.html#download
• balder10.imz: Not sure what the state of this "Balder" Freedos floppy image is and where it came from. I found this: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/01/msg00051.html, but Finnix does not mention "Balder" (anymore). Not sure what this means for us.
• netboot.xyz.efi + netboot.xyz.lkrn: We have v2.0.76, v2.0.83 was released recently.
• bsd4grml: Currently v20160117. Not sure about the state and where it comes from. Maybe @mirabilos can help?

I’ll submit an update when there is a meaningful update next time. It’s built from the Makefile in src/distrib/common/grml/ in the MirBSD CVS tree, and the things it references, after a normal snapshot build. (MirBSD is currently stuck in an ABI change that affects multiple core libc parts and, on sparc, even the kernel, and… I’ve not been able to work on it much recently.) So the one that’s in the grml-live-grml tree is still good to go.
