Relocate deviceinfo to /usr/share

Pablo Correa Gomez requested to merge usr-share-deviceinfo into master

FINALLY!! @craftyguy 💛

Depends !4169 (merged)

Fixes #1836 (closed)

Fixes #2228 (closed)

TODO:

  • Test
  • Review other projects
  • Improve the messaging from the /etc/deviceinfo file
  • Add constraints for boot-deploy, mkinitfs, devicepkg-dev and devicepkg-utils.
  • Merge !4169 (merged)
  • Make a blogpost! Might break some user scripts and users that modified the deviceinfo should at some point migrate. postmarketos.org!226 (merged)

Basically, every deviceinfo user should be updated after the migration. I cannot think of anything else, but there are things that I might have missed that use deviceinfo. Any ideas?

Also, everything should still be reading /etc/deviceinfo, so this should have backwards compatibility, even though users won't get updates if the don't migrate.
