This is so that users calling apt-get install from a hook only need to
have APT_CONFIG=$MMDEBSTRAP_APT_CONFIG set and do not also have to pass
-oDPkg::Chroot-Directory="$1".
This breaks users running apt-get with
DPkg::Options::=--force-script-chrootless or with Dpkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs
from within a hook with APT_CONFIG=$MMDEBSTRAP_APT_CONFIG.
In those situations, DPkg::Chroot-Directory has to be set to the empty
string explicitly with -o to overwrite the APT_CONFIG setting.

- implements the same as debootstrap in
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debootstrap/-/merge_requests/71
- builds a temporary usr-is-merged package and upgrades to the real one
- create merged-/usr chroots for unstable and testing (which will
become Debian 12 Bookworm)
- add a dedicated merged-/usr section to the manual page
