See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595917 and
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1200 for
more on this. Briefly, DNF before 3.0 presented this config
value as a list...and mutating it worked. DNF from 3.0 until
3.6 presented it as a list...mutating it didn't work, but also
didn't *fail*, so this has actually not been doing anything on
DNF 3.x but we haven't noticed.
In DNF 3.6 values like this are presented as tuples instead of
lists, to try and catch usages like this, and it worked! We
need to change this one.
There is an additional weirdness here. tsflags is actually, in
libdnf terms, an OptionStringListAppend option: that means that
when something tries to *set* its value, the new value is just
appended to the existing list of values. This is very weird
behaviour when you're interacting with it like this, but
happens to be quite useful, as we can just 'set' the value to
a list like this and it will actually get appended (which is
what we want), and this one syntax happens to work correctly in
DNF 2.x, 3.0 through 3.5.1, and 3.6.

When the kickstart is handed off to Anaconda for building it will
download its own copy of the metadata and re-run the depsolve. So if the
dnf cache isn't current there will be a mismatch and the build will
fail to find some of the versions in final-kickstart.ks
This adds a new context to DNFLock, .lock_check, that will force a check
of the metadata. It also implements its own timeout and forces a
refresh of the metadata when that expires because the dnf expiration
doesn't always work as expected.

lorax uses pyanaconda's SimpleConfigParser in three different
places (twice with a copy that's been dumped into pylorax, once
by importing it), just to do a fairly simple job: read some
values out of /etc/os-release. The only value SimpleConfigParser
is adding over Python's own ConfigParser here is to read a file
with no section headers, and to unquote the values. The cost is
either a dependency on pyanaconda, or needing to copy the whole
of simpleparser plus some other utility bits from pyanaconda
into lorax. This seems like a bad trade-off.
This changes the approach: we copy one very simple utility
function from pyanaconda (`unquote`), and do some very simple
wrapping of ConfigParser to handle reading a file without any
section headers, and returning unquoted values. This way we can
read what we need out of os-release without needing a dep on
pyanaconda or to copy lots of things from it into pylorax.

A bad system repo can cause lorax-composer to fail to start. Instead of
a traceback log the error and exit.
(note that the exit still results in an OSError traceback due to part of
it running as root, this needs to be addressed in another commit).
This no longer uses the enabled configuration setting to select repos to
use. It uses everything in the repo_dir, and if system repos have not
been disabled it copies them into the repo_dir at startup, overwriting
the previous copy.
