Some platforms, like ppc64, require that the /boot partition be present.
It doesn't hurt to have it there on other platforms so instead of trying
to add per-arch kickstart templates just use reqpart --add-boot
everywhere.

Some platforms do not have grub2, and some require other partitions.
Anaconda will add platform specific partitions if the 'reqpart' command
is included, and it will add bootloader specific packages to the list if
they are needed.

This is required to ensure that SELinux is configured properly while
building. It fixes the problem with building tar, and should be
installed in the other image types for consistency.

Since these images can be used to create multiple machines, they should
not have a unique machine-id attached to them. Replace /etc/machine-id
with an empty file so that it will be regenerated at boot time.

If we leave the root account w/o a password people will use it that way,
leading to insecure images. Also if we use a default password. So lock
the root account in the templates.
Users will need to do one of these things:
1. Use [[customizations.user]] in their blueprint to configure root or
another user.
2. Use [[customizations.sshkey]] to set a key for root
2. Install a package that configures a user at install time
3. Install a package that sets up a user at boot time (eg. cloud-init)
This also drops the auth line from the kickstart templates, allowing it
to use the default password algoritm instead of md5.

Currently we are making MBR disk images for qcow2 and partitioned disk,
so the UEFI packages aren't required at this point.
Move the clearpart command into compose.py so that in the futute it can
use clearpart --disklabel to create a GPT image, and add the required
packages to the package set.
