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.

28fb511790 Add glibc-all-langpacks (#1312607)
glibc recently split all of its locale data into subpackages, so if we
install no langpacks we get no locales. Explicitly install all of the
langpacks.

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.

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.

33d008d9f2 livemedia-creator: Fix calculation of disk_size in some cases
If the kickstart includes multiple definitions for the same mount point,
the last one defined is used. The current code includes all of them in
size calculation, and the image file that livemedia-creator makes is big
enough to hold all of the partitions, even though the duplicates are
ignored by Anaconda.

ceabb7e214 Write a list of debuginfo packages to /root/debug-pkgs.log (#1068675)
Sometimes debugging a boot.iso requires using gdb, and finding the
corresponding debuginfo packages can be difficult. This writes the
matching -debuginfo package names and full ENVR to a file on the iso.
This can then be fed to dnf to install the correct debug packages.

0d22b72615 livemedia-creator: Raise an error if url is used without networking
Because livemedia-creator is using a media based installation by default,
no networking is brought up automatically. If then the url installation
method is used, it fails with an unclear reason.

This patch adds a check to raise a clear error if the url installation
method is used insisde the kickstart but no networking is configured.
