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.
This requires OVMF to be setup on the system, and for the kickstart to
create a /boot/efi/ partition. You can then use it to create UEFI
bootable partitioned disk images.
The UEFI firmware needs to be installed manually on the system, either
in the default location of /usr/share/OVMF/ or use --ovmf-path to point
to the location.

Use it to override the default dracut arguments (displayed as part of
the --help output). If you want to extend the default arguments they
all need to be passed in on the cmdline as well. eg.
--dracut-arg='--xz' --dracut-arg='--install /.buildstamp' ...

commit 5da9f5c179 cleaned up the resultdir
handling, but didn't take into account that on master shutil.copytree
was switched to imgutil.copytree which doesn't care if the empty
directory exists or not.

The cherry-pick for commit 0d28b9e09c
dropped the patch into the middle of setup_logging and added a (unused)
main() function so things would still run, but logging wasn't being
setup properly.
This removes the main() and moves the default_image_name() function
after all of the logging setup code.

The correct way with the current dracut (and it should be backwards
compatible) is to reference it as stage2=hd:LABEL=...

When an image name hasn't been passed, and the compression type is
something other than xz, the default image name should use the user
specified compression suffix.

The system the image boots on will likely not match the host where lorax
was run, and in some cases this can cause systems to hang.

The anaconda rebase changed the repo download failure to ERR, fix this
in the log watching code so that it will shut down the VM when it hits
it.

This adds the --qcow2 option to create qcow2 disk images in virt and
no-virt modes. You can pass extra options to qemu-img with --qcow2-arg

--make-pxe-live target generate live squashfs and initrd for pxe boot.
Also generates pxe config template.
--make-ostree-live is used for installations of Atomic Host. Additionally to
--make-pxe-live it ensures using deployment root instead of physical root of
installed disk image where needed. Atomic installation needs to be virt
installation with /boot on separate partition (the only way supported by
Anaconda currently). Content of boot partition is added to live root fs so that
ostree can find deployment by boot configuration.
In this case, we don't need to pass a repo parameter to anaconda. It's running
in a VM and knows how to deal with a kickstart file.

This adds the --make-tar option which will produce a xz compressed tar
of the root filesystem. This works with either virt-install or no-virt
modes. Use --image-name to set the output filename.
--compression is used to set the compression type to use, which defaults
to xz. Supported types are xz, lzma, gzip and bzip2.
--compress-arg is used to pass arguments to the compression utility.

If the user supplies a fsimage to use for the iso it may not be on the
same filesystem as the working directory. Try to hardlink first, but if
that fails copy the image.

--make-fsimage was only working with --no-virt, this re-structures
things so that virt-install partitioned disk images can be converted to
a fsimage. --make-ami was actually already doing this, so change it to
use --make-fsimage and set the default image name to "ami-root.img" with
a label of "AMI".
This also adds the ability to set the fs label on iso fsimage and
fsimages created with --make-fsimage and --make-ami by passing
--fs-label, but note that bootable iso's expect the Anaconda label.

When running lmc with --no-virt yum will use /tmp/ to cache some things.
If the kickstart or repos change between runs this cache can become
stale so remove it when lmc is finished.

The ppc config files were missing from the live config_files directory
and ppc needs the correct lib directory so lmc has been switched to use
ArchData driven from the installed kernel arch.

When doing an image install there is no .buildstamp file to pull the
information from so use the cmdline variables (or their defaults) and
pass them to anaconda in the environment.

This adds support for installing to a filesystem image instead of a
partitioned disk image. It requires Anaconda's --dirinstall support.
Also re-organized the code to break it up into smaller methods.
This speeds up iso creation in no-virt mode by removing the need to copy
the filesystem from the partitioned disk image to the filesystem image
that is used to make the squashfs image.
