-Run an arbitrary script inside the target tree
-
-Runs an arbitrary script inside the target tree.
-
-Writes the contents of the `script` item to `/osbuild-script`, sets the
-permissions of the script to 0550 (-r-xr-x---), then uses the host's `chroot`
-binary to chroot into the tree and execute the script. The script is removed
-after it completes.
-
-WARNING: running code inside the tree is unsafe, unreliable, and generally
-discouraged. Using this stage may result in unexplained failures or other
-undefined behavior, and should only be done as a last resort.
-
-NOTE: if `script` does not start with a line like '#!/bin/bash
-', executing
-it will fail with ENOEXEC. Some `chroot` binaries will try to run the script
-through `/bin/sh` in that case, so it might still work, but that behavior is
-not guaranteed.
