Allow customization inside the schroot-run of image-tools-extension
by introducing the variables IMAGER_SCHROOT_CMD (useful to inject
a local apt-repository into the schroot), IMAGER_SCHROOT_UPDATE_OPTS
(to add the sources list) and IMAGER_SCHROOT_INSTALL_OPTS (to inject
options during install).

Hi,

I would like to postpone this patch until "add support to build isar
unprivileged" is merged, as this splits the imager_run path into
schroot and unshare.

Apart from that, I'm wondering if the change is really needed, as the
custom repo could also be injected into the whole build and by that
should also be accessible during imaging.

That's fine with me.

Well, I am injecting the same repository with DISTRO_APT_SOURCES
but accessing it during the schroot-run failed, so I simply re-injecting it.
If the orginal setting could be preserved that would be nice, but I couldn't
get it to work,

CU,
Uli

It's better to understand the root cause for the canonical approach
failing here.
