The installation from DVD on s390x needs setting the target disks and
network information that are usually set by editing the generic.prm file.
By including the "rd.cmdline=ask" parameter dracut will open a simple
dialog so the user can enter the required information.
Update the templates and configuration files to support grub2 live
image creation.

(cherry picked from commit da8326fd58)
The ppc config files were missing from the live config_files directory
and ppc needs the correct lib directory so lmc has been switched to use
ArchData driven from the installed kernel arch.

This reverts commit f3f2aa4851.
The addon does not currently work, reverting it until it does and has
been tested so that it doesn't block further Fedora work by breaking the
installer iso.
The settings in /apps/metacity/general are now covered by gsettings in
org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences. The keybinding settings are already
covered by the overrides for org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings.
Spaces cause various bugs like #923374 and #855849 , and it would be
better if we just didn't use them.
Note that there's a corresponding pungi change to go with this.

rpm-ostree is a new payload type available in Anaconda, will be used
by Project Atomic (http://projectatomic.io) builds and the new Fedora
Cloud Docker Host.
dnf has previously existed, but as it's only required at installation
time, let's move it here as well.
Per discussion on the anaconda list, we don't want to pull these in as
a dependency of the "anaconda" package as initial-setup -> anaconda
which means they end up on every system.
mkefiboot uses pylorax.imgutils, in order to capture information about
umount problems it needs to be run with --debug. This triggers the fuser
call to show what is holding the mount open.
Update the templates and config file to better support EFI on aarch64
on 64-bit ARM.

Right now, logind reserves tty6 for a login shell, which is not what we
want - normally anaconda puts Xorg there, and there's no need for a
login prompt anyway.
This configures logind to activate "anaconda-shell@.service" when a user
switches to an unused tty, and reserves tty2 for that purpose (which is
where users expect a shell anyway).
This will avoid us having login prompts that users don't know what to do
with. It also probably saves us a little bit of RAM.
Some things need grubby. But they don't want to require them. So we make
sure it is available for other packages to use while building the
images.
Note that it is still removed in the cleanup script, and when installing
a system the grubby used will be the one pulled from the install repo.
Currently, yaboot is the ISO boot loader in fedora and the Fedora on
POWER team is making an effort in order to replace it by GRUB2 in the
F20 release cycle. I'm sending a lorax patch so you guys can comment
on it. I'm planning to create a feature page for that too.
This patch only change the lorax template for ppc and should not
affect other archs, like x86.

The system-wide spice guest agent, spice-vdagentd, normally uses
systemd-logind to determine which of the per-session spice-vdagent
instances it should be communicating with. On the non-live media, the X
session isn't registered with systemd-logind, so instead start
spice-vdagentd with -X to disable the systemd-logind integration and
serve instead to a single spice-vdagent.
Conditionalize shim and grub2-efi and whatnot on being x86_64 for now -
at some point they'll turn into "efi architectures" and maybe even split
for SB vs not SB, but for now, this is fine.

The xkeybard-config .mo files are needed to translate the layout
switching options. The xklavier calls in anaconda will automatically
translate the option strings as long as the translations are present.
In fips mode creation of the protocol 1 key causes it to hang. This
removes the explicit HostKey entries and lets sshd decide which keys to
create when it starts.
Add a command that opens the anaconda.log file located in /tmp
with less. The command is added as the most recently used.

It's pretty pointless to copy data from /run/log/journal to
/var/log/journal, since both of those are in-memory filesystems.
This should somewhat reduce RAM use during installation.
Resolves this error on s390x:
...
running runtime-install.tmpl
installpkg modutils failed: No package(s) available to install
Looking for extra fedup-dracut packages...
...
dracut tries to build hostonly initrd by default without the nohostonly
package/config; this results in a bunch of error messages about missing
files in proc and sys, and then the resulting initrd doesn't work 'cuz
it doesn't have any drivers for anything.
Make kernel args the same in every config.
Put 'quiet' at the end of the line - it's usually the first thing a user removes when debugging.
Fill missing product versions in.
Distinguish between 'install' (installation media) and 'start' (live media).
The list of ARM platforms was represented as a static list to be
installed in .treeinfo for Beaker support, but as ARM moves to use
the multiplatform kernel the platform specific kernel images will
no longer be needed. This process is beginning in F18 (3.7 kernel)
with HighBank being the first to use the baseline kernel. Due to
this change, there will be no 'highbank' platform images, but Beaker
tries to import all platforms listed in .treeinfo. To avoid errors,
we should dynamically create the list of ARM plaforms, including
only those that are actually provided.
