v0.1.0-alpha.18

fix: switch squashfs from xz to zstd compression for CI speed

xz compression takes 5+ hours on GitHub Actions free runners, hitting
the 6-hour job timeout. zstd level 15 is ~10x faster with comparable
compression ratios.

v0.1.0-alpha.16

fix: add missing archiso airootfs configs and mkinitcpio-archiso package

- Add vconsole.conf (KEYMAP=us) to fix "file not found: /etc/vconsole.conf"
- Add mkinitcpio.conf with archiso hooks to fix "failed to detect root filesystem"
- Add mkinitcpio-archiso package (provides the archiso initcpio hooks)

v0.1.0-alpha.15

Fix: Remove AUR/nonexistent packages from base edition package list

This was the actual merged package list (editions/base/packages.x86_64),
not the archiso profile copy. Same fixes: wayfire -> labwc, removed
archlinux-shim, wf-panel-pi, wf-shell, bibata-cursor-theme, wlroots,
fixed ttf-inter -> inter-font.
