d6283f9540 Adjust the disk size estimates to match Anaconda
First is Anaconda uses 6k blocks per file for its estimate, and it
fudges by 10% so adjust for those with an extra 10% of headroom just in
case.

Second is an Anaconda bug that won't allow it to do a kickstart install
to a disk smaller than 3000 MB. There is a PR to fix it upstream, but
for now the minimum size has to be 3000e9

7bc818507c Make sure loop device is setup (#1462150)
It seems that on rare occasions losetup can return before the /dev/loopX
is ready for use, causing problems with mkfs. This tries to make sure
that the loop device really is associated with the backing file before
continuing.

NOTE that using losetup --list -O to return the backing store
associated with the loop device can fail due to losetup truncating
the output filename if sysfs isn't setup. Instead of printing the full
path it will truncate it to 64 characters with a * at the end.

See util-linux lib/loopdev.c for the code that does this.

Use the existing get_loop_name function, which uses losetup -j, to lookup
the loop device associated with the backing store which should work the
same, just in the opposite direction.

2c3007beb8 Use anaconda-core to detect buildarch
For historical reasons, lorax used the 'anaconda' package as a
touchstone to determine the architecture for the build. At some
point, this package became a metapackage that pulls in both the
GUI and headless installers.

In the modular world, it's possible that only the core and TUI bits
may be available for use. The only subpackage of anaconda that is
guaranteed to be on any viable system is anaconda-core, so let's
switch to using that for the touchstone instead of the metapackage.

1c6b083260 Try all packages when installpkg --optional is used.
Also sort the expanded list of packages so that any failures will
be consistent instead of depending on the randomness of a set().
And add better logging when things fail.

The core issue is that repodata may have packages that match globs, but
they cannot actually be installed (eg. sigrok-firmware). This can cause
*some* of the globbed packages to be installed before hitting the
failure package.

With this change it will log the expanded list of packages if a glob is
used. It will skip any packages that fail to install when using
--optional with the glob, and continue to install the rest.

3fa3d20489 imgutils: Don't relabel /ostree
OSTree is a deduplicating hardlink store using a new file path
`/ostree`, which SELinux policy doesn't know about.  However, OSTree
has SELinux support built in, and rpm-ostree (for example) uses this
to ensure the attributes on files stored there are simply always
correct.  Relabeling it will corrupt it.

Hence, let's skip it.

5aa6fea8c3 templates: When a subprocess fatally errors, output its stderr directly
Right now we dump all subprocess output to `program.log`.  Unfortunately,
The pungi/koji stack doesn't know how to scrape out the lorax logs.

And even when running interactively, it's annoying that *some* fatal
errors show up on stderr, but if it's from a subprocess, I need to go
over and `tail program.log`.

Let's output the subprocess stderr directly, since the user is
going to want it prominently anyways.

3740df3756 livemedia-creator: Pass -Xbcj to mksquashfs
Some cases of mksquashfs were not using -Xbcj when it is available for
the arch. This adds a function to return the correct args based on the
arch and the cmdline args.

422a9a5859 ltmpl: Add compressor selection and argument passing to installimg
Allow the template to select a different compression type or arguments
for the installimg command.

On 32bit builds running inside a mock xz sees the full amount of system
memory which can result in xz failing with a memory error. This allows
the template to limit the amount of memory it tries to use.

b91e79d9bc livemedia-creator: Check selinux state and exit
lmc --no-virt was switching selinux to permissive if it was enforcing
and restore it when done. This works fine when it is the only session
running, but would cause problems if it was run in parallel.

It now only checks the state and exits with an error if it isn't already
disabled or in Permissive mode.

Users will need to run setenforce 0 before running lmc.

a7fb48d0da livemedia-creator: Catch dnf download error
If there isn't enough space for DNF to download packages it will log:

"Not enough disk space to download the packages."

So add this to the messages in monitor that trigger an error.

9612f9e16f Add a means of excluding packages from a glob
This makes package selection a little more roundabout, but it allows for
unused packages (and their dependencies) to be removed from globs during
the install phase.

dnf.subject.Subject is the class used by dnf's Base.install to select
packages, so the behavior of installpkg without --except options is the
same as it was before.

6798f7c5ec livemedia-creator: Fix off by 1024 error
commit 4699c88109 changed how the disk
size is estimated and not all users took into account that the return
value is in MiB.

This would result in qemu based iso installations having a rootfs.img
that was 1024x too large.

3e9efdcf48 livemedia-creator: Change fsck.ext4 discard failures to errors
Something is causing problems with the ext4 rootfs.img when running with
no-virt inside koji. This results in a failed image that looks good
until you try to boot it.

make_squashfs will now return False if it fails, and make_live_image
will return None (instead of the result path). lmc will exit with a 1
and log an error.

4699c88109 livemedia-creator: Create runtime using kickstart partition size
When using no-virt the runtime filesystem size comes from the kickstart.
For virt installs lmc was creating a runtime filesystem that was just
slightly larger than the space used by the files installed by anaconda.
This can run into problems with larger filesystem. It is also
inconsistent behavior between virt and no-virt installations.

With this commit the virt runtime filesystem will also come from the
kickstart.

f8316a7b89 livemedia-creator: Use qemu instead of virt-install
Switching to using qemu directly allows lmc to be more flexible. It can
now run from inside a mock chroot for creation of all image types,
inculding disk images, and can take advantage of KVM on the host system
if /dev/kvm device is present inside the mock.

It should also be possible to create cross-arch images, but without kvm
available this is likely to be a very slow option.

7c0a6dffd6 livemedia-creator: Stop passing --repo to anaconda (#1304802)
When running a no-virt installation it was parsing the kickstart url
method and passing it to anaconda using --repo which prevents it from
working with url --mirrorlist method. There is no good reason to do
this, anaconda gets the method directly from the kickstart when it isn't
on the cmdline.

c86bd205c3 Add check for templates.d in the sharedir
This allows lorax to support multiple templates.

If there is no templates.d under the sharedir (/usr/share/lorax or the
directory passed by --sharedir) then the templates in that directory
will be used as they were previously.

If there are directories under templates.d the first one will be used,
unless --sharedir points to a specific one.

ba4218ea98 livemedia-creator: Make sure the rootfs.img can be compressed
Use 4k blocks for the ext4 filesystem. Run fsck on the filesystem to
make sure deleted blocks are actually zeroed, and pass -Xbcj to
mksquashfs.

4k blocks and -Xbcj decreases the size by 2-6% depending on the
filesystem size. Zeroing the blocks of the ext4 fs improves things
dramatically. The problem is that DNF downloads the rpms before
installing them. In addition to forcing us to use a larger filesystem
than we would like it leaves data that is difficult to compress on the
image. The downloaded files are removed, but need to be zeroed out so
that mksquashfs can compress it.
