QNAP TS-470 Pro - USB copy button HAL layer

Long story short: reinstalling my QNAP TS-470 Pro with TrueNAS scale 24.10.
USB copy button was not working and existing projects on the Internet would not work either.
I found out that my hardware/bios version somehow requires an initialization code that I could not be bothered to reverse.
So here's the idea: run the initialization code straight from QNAP binary hal_daemon while running it chrooted inside TrueNAS.

1. On your existing QNAP device (this will create an archive under /share/Public/qts-hal.tar.gz - adjust accordingly):

    cd / && tar czf /share/Public/qts-hal.tar.gz \
      sbin/{hal_daemon,hal_util,nasutil,get_ccode} \
      bin/{sh,bash,busybox,echo,grep,ps} \
      etc/{hal.conf,hal_util*.conf,model*.conf} \
      dev/null \
      lib64 \
      lib/libuLinux_{hal,ini}.so \
      lib/{ld-2*,ld-linux-*,libc,libc-*,libcrypt,libcrypt-*,libdl,libdl-*,libiconv,libjson,libm,libm-*,libncurses,libpthread,librt,librt-*,libssl,libz}.so* \
      usr/lib/libuLinux_{NAS,PDC,Storage,Util,cgi,config,naslog,qha,qlicense,quota}.so* \
      usr/lib/{libcrypto,libsqlite3,libxml2}.so* \
      --no-recursion tmp var
   

2. After installing TrueNAS, copy the archive over, then:

    QTSROOT=/opt/qts && mkdir -p $QTSROOT && cp qts-hal.tar.gz $QTSROOT/ && cd $QTSROOT && tar xzf qts-hal.tar.gz && rm qts-hal.tar.gz
   

3. Run this script at system startup (pre-init): TODO(qts-init-hal)

4. Test the USB functionality with poll-copybutton (you can compile it on Debian 12).

5. Enjoy existing projects to handle the usb copy button
