`mke2fs` has a `-d` option that allows to populate the newly created filesystem without needing to temporarily mount it. That allows to use `parted` and `mkfs.ext3` on regular files without needing root access.
Before the simplify refactor, the convention was to name the first
or default build script "<package name>.sh". The refactor changed
this default to "pass1.sh", with "pass2.sh" and so on used for
subsequent passes. This wasn't an issue when building usig scripts
generated by script-generator (which explicitly declares the build
script to use), but broke running "build <package name>" without
an explicit script name from the post-bootstrap bash prompt.
By deriving the script name from the current revision/pass number,
this commit restores that functionality.
An unfortunate blemish is that we number build scripts from 1, but
repo tarballs from 0 - it would be nice to standardize on a single
indexing convention.
When renaming using_bash to bash_build, I accidentally removed the
+ sign from the assignment, causing bash_build > 1 to never match,
resulting in old-style Ctrl+D traps even in the new Bash.
This patch restores the intended += behavior.

This ends the reliance on the precompiled stage1 image in ootstrap-seeds,
and the locally committed copy of the stage2 hex0 code. Instead, both
stages are taken from the new builder-hex0 submodule, with stage1 compiled
by generator.py on the fly. The local copy of stage2 is dropped.
This way, updating to a newer builder-hex0 becomes much easier: just update
the submodule.
