Fixing EndeavourOS Boot Failures

This gist enumerates a process which worked for me to repair an installation of EndeavourOS with full-disk encryption when it is unable to boot. It is also available as a blog post on my website.

Specifically, this set of steps fixed the boot process on a HP-Envy laptop running EndeavourOS with an ext4 file system. The issue normally occurs after an interrupted update using pacman -Syu, which then causes the system to be unable to boot after the next restart (showing only "boot to firmware interface" in the boot menu).

Steps to fix

1) Boot with an EndeavourOS live USB stick

# You want latexmk to *always* run, because make does not have all the info.
# Also, include non-file targets in .PHONY so they are run regardless of any
