The directory where the --logfile is located is also used for other log
files and for the anaconda logs when using --no-virt. Create the parent
directories if they don't exist.
--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.
Previously if there was an error during a novirt installation that
didn't exit the process there was no way to detect it. This uses the new
--remotelog option for anaconda to monitor the logs for errors using the
same criteria as it does when monitoring a virt install. If there is an
error the anaconda process will be terminated and the logs will be
gathered up into ./anaconda/
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.

(cherry picked from commit 59f256e989)
When using GPT it reserves a few more sectors at the end of the disk for
the copy of the GPT so pad the size of the partitions in the kickstart
by 2MiB instead of 1MiB to account for this.
Depending on the environment that --no-virt is run inside the resulting
filesystem may need to have the SELinux labels updates. Run setfiles on
the new filesystem after the anaconda run has finished.
eg. when run from inside mock the labels will be incorrect.
This no longer seems to be needed, and causes images created without
passing --vnc vnc to start up with a serial console. If you need a
serial console you can pass it using --kernel-args
Add check for running traceback script and when the retry fails.
This also indicates something went wrong with the installation, exit
when they are seen in the logs.
Also drop looking for WARNING in the regex errors, they will be errors
after the syslog level name remap patch goes into anaconda.
Spaces cause various bugs like #923374 and #855849 , and it would be
better if we just didn't use them.
Note that there's a corresponding pungi change to go with this.

Watch the logs for WARNING packaging: .* requires .* which indicates
that there are missing packages and it is sitting at a prompt waiting
for user input.
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.
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.
--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 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.

Also adds a check for a bad url repo, and fix ram calculation for
appliance mode. Updates the README.livemedia-creator documentation.
