Previously the release package was chosen by picking the first package
that provides 'system-release' that isn't named generic. This can cause
branding issues with repos containing multiple system-release packages.
This patch changes _install_branding so that it will give preference to
a system-release package that ends with lowercase --variant name. If
there isn't one it will fall back to the previous behavior.

This controls how big the root filesystem is for the squashfs used in
the boot.iso, the default is 2GiB.
Note that larger rootfs sizes will require more memory and may cause the
build to fail.

Escaped spaces is supported, so remove the extra filtering of the
isolabel on PPC so that it uses the same form as the other arches.
eg. inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=RHEL-7.7\x20Server.ppc64le for an iso with a
label of 'RHEL-7.7 Server.ppc64le'

The shlex splitting can fail, resulting in error messages like:
ERROR livemedia-creator: No closing quotation
without any context in the log files. This logs the line that failed to
be split and expanded.
Related: rhbz#1689314
This adds a new livemedia-creator argument, --extra-boot-args, which can
be used to add arguments to the kernel command-line in the templates.
Resolves: rhbz#1689314
This allows USB drives to boot as well as the iso. Also switch the
isolabel to follow the x86 format and use '-' instead of '_'.

Anaconda, Lorax, lorax-composer, and livemedia-creator can all now run
with SELinux in Enforcing mode. It does not need to be disabled and if
there are denials they should be reported as a bug.
Log the current state of SELinux when starting, update the
documentation.

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 VirtualInstall and novirt_install where the function
is called.

If systemd's tmpfiles.d timer is executed while lorax is running it will
remove any files and directories older than 30 days. This is what has
been causing the occasional error where /proc/ would seem to vanish
during the install.
Upstream has proposed this solution, https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11482
but until that is released we need a work-around to protect the lorax
files.
This commit does several things:
* Move the default tmpdir from /var/tmp/ to /var/tmp/lorax/
* Add a lorax.conf tmpfiles.d file that prevents systemd-tmpfiles from
removing anything under /var/tmp/lorax/
* Add an exit handler to lorax so that temporary directories are removed on
exit or on a python traceback.
* Use flock to lock access to the tempdir while lorax is running.
* Remove any unlocked tempdirs named /var/tmp/lorax/lorax.* at startup
Note that the exit handler will not remove the tempdir if lorax is
killed with a signal -- those are being caught by dnf and prevent the
exit handler from running.
systemd-tmpfiles cannot clean up the tempdirs at boot time because they
contain files labeled as shadow_t, so we have to remove those when lorax
runs. It uses the flock to prevent removing any directories created by
parallel instances of lorax and only removes ones that are unlocked.
Worst case they will be around until the first run of lorax after a
reboot.
If you want to keep the working directory around for debugging purposes
use --workdir /var/tmp/lorax/my-workdir and it won't be removed by
lorax.

- need to specify --sharedir so lorax-composer can find its
kickstart files
- each test script writes results into a separate directory to
avoid a passing test overwriting the results from a failing one.
To avoid reporting failures in case of previously failing tests
(e.g. during development) remove the temporary directories holding
tets results before execution!
these are built on top of beakerlib and we use its internal
protocol to figure out the result without relying on the full
test runner that is tipically used inside of a RHEL environment!
Includes a disabled test snippet for Issue #460
And update documentation for lorax-composer. Make it clear that to pass
the arguments you must single quote them. Like so:
--dracut-arg='--xz'
And that all dracut args must be passed, since it overrides the
defaults.

The current version of libgit2 available (0.26.3) has different behavior
with SortMode.TIME. It works correctly when left at the default (which
is also how the rawhide version works).
Yum needs to have some other attrs setup on the YumRepository object, so
use the function provided to ensure that everything is correct. Also
switch the related functions to use a dict instead of a YumRepository
object.
yum also has a cache it uses for listEnabled(), but the cache isn't
invalidated when a repo is deleted it any following metadata update
will fail because it is still using the deleted repo.
We are forced to use the heavy hammer on a yum private variable yet
again to force the cache to be cleared so that it won't crash.
yum TumRepository.dump() function cannot be used as a .repo file Add a
new function to write this in the correct format, and limited to the
fields we use.
Add a test for the new function.
Fix /projects/source/info to return an error 400 if a nonexistant TOML
source is requested. If JSON is used the error is part of the standard
response.
Update test_server.py to check for the correct error code.
When adding a source failed it wasn't being removed from the dnf object.
This fixes that, and returns an error when setting up the source fails.
Also adds a test for it.
