160be350fb don't build upgrade.img anymore
fedup is deprecated and abandoned. Let's save time and disk by not
building `upgrade.img` when nothing is going to use it anymore.

For the record, performing upgrades using an initramfs from the new
system turns out to be fragile and hard to support:

* dracut initramfs isn't generic enough to handle booting all systems
  (e.g. missing vconsole.conf means you get keymaps wrong, so users
  can't unlock encrypted disks)

* The ABI differences between the two versions of plymouth, systemd,
  etc. requires nasty workarounds at best and causes nightmarish
  systemd crashes at worst

This patch removes all the code that built and installed `upgrade.img`.

For backwards compatibility, the API retains the `doupgrade` keyword
argument, and the `--noupgrade` flag is still accepted.

5155ff65ac Add ability for external templates to graft content into boot.iso
I originally added --add-template to support doing something similar
to pungi, which injects content into the system to be used by default.
However, this causes the content to be part of the squashfs, which
means PXE installations have to download significantly more data that
they may not need (if they actually want to pull the tree data from
the network, which is not an unusual case).

What I actually need is to be able to modify *both* the runtime image
and the arch-specific content.  For the runtime, I need to change
/usr/share/anaconda/interactive-defaults.ks to point to the new
content.  (Although, potentially we could patch Anaconda itself to
auto-detect an ostree repository configured in disk image, similar to
what it does for yum repositories)

For the arch-specfic image, I want to drop my content into the ISO
root.

So this patch adds --add-arch-template and --add-arch-template-var
in order to do the latter, while preserving the --add-template
to affect the runtime image.

Further, the templates will automatically graft in a directory named
"iso-graft/" from the working directory (if it exists).

(I suggest that external templates create a subdirectory named
 "content" to avoid clashes with any future lorax work)

Thus, this will be used by the Atomic Host lorax templates to inject
content/repo, but could be used by e.g. pungi to add content/rpms as
well.

I tried to avoid code deduplication by creating a new template for the
product.img bits and this, but that broke because the parent boot.iso
code needs access to the `${imggraft}` variable.  I think a real fix
here would involve turning the product.img, content/, *and* boot.iso
into a new template.

ac6e4a29c3 Update templates to use installimg for product and updates
With these templates if a package has installed files in
/usr/share/lorax/product or /usr/share/lorax/updates/ they will be used
to create product.img and/or updates.img which will be included in the
images/ directory of the iso and of the final output tree.

These can be used to customize the installation environment or provide
updates. See README.product for current documentation.
