Tails Cloner copies all files from the expected directories in the live partition
Originally created by @segfault on #7073 (Redmine)
With options Clone & Install and Clone & Upgrade the Tails Cloner copies not only the necessary live system files but also all other files in the expected top level directories on the same partition.
So if tails is installed on a USB stick or a SD card and the user stored some other files on the same partition, in any of these expected directories, those files will be copied too.
The top level directories that are copied are liveos_toplevel_files
in https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/installer/-/blob/master/tails_installer/config.py.
