7ee3b3d661 Revert "lorax-composer: Cancel running Anaconda process"
Drop running pkill. This causes problems if more than one is running on
a system (eg. in parallel using mock). It can kill off other processes
unrelated to this instance of anaconda.

This reverts commit 6b5c4df8b5.

6b5c4df8b5 lorax-composer: Cancel running Anaconda process
It ends up that this isn't as easy as you'd think. Anaconda sets up some
signal handlers to handle cleanly exiting, but they are not being run
when sent a TERM after package installation has started. I think DNF
resets them causing it to get ignored.

When the cancel is sent it can take several minutes for it to have an
effect. In my testing it usually takes around 2 minutes for anaconda to
notice and exit.

This sends a TERM to the process and then waits for it to exit. When it
returns it then removed any device-mapper devices that were setup for
image installations, removes any hanging loop devices.

It then kills off any process with pyanaconda. in the cmdline, and
anaconda-bus.conf (because anaconda starts a bunch of helpers and if it
doesn't shut down cleanly they remain running).

Resolves: rhbz#1656691

26a684932b Add cancel_func to virt and novirt_install functions
In addition to monitoring the logs for errors, call a function (or
functions) that tell it to cancel the anaconda process and cleanup.

Also check for a cancel after creating the squashfs image for live-iso
since that's a long running process.

This required adding a new argument to a number of existing functions,
passing it down to QEMUInstall and novirt_install where the function is
called.

9717b3fd98 Make no-virt generated images sparser
At the end of disk image installs, use fstrim on the generated filesystem to
discard any blocks that were allocated during the install and are now unused.
This will allow tools such as qemu-img to create images that do not include
deleted data.

For raw disk images that do not go through qemu-img, use fallocate --dig-holes
to create sparse holes in place of the unused blocks.

3974a4e479 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

06c227598c Move core of livemedia-creator into pylorax.creator
This moves everything except the cmdline checking into run_creator in
pylorax.creator

It also rearranges some functions to prevent import loops, and adds a
utility function to imgutils (mkfsimage_from_disk for copying a
partition into a filesystem image).

89050f068d livemedia-creator: Move core functions into pylorax modules
This reduces the amount of code in livemedia-creator to the cmdline
parsing and calling of the installer functions. Moving them into other
modules will allow them to be used by other projects, like the
lorax-composer API server.
