5499fed441 Add documentation for --dracut-arg to lorax.1
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.

377f5e4124 Switch the API to use a Unix Domain Socket
This drops support for the TCP port and switches to using a socket at
/var/run/weldr/api.socket

Also add the start of some docs for lorax-composer.

--host and --port argument have been removed.

--group sets the group name to use for access to the socket and its
parent directory. Defaults to 'weldr'

--socket sets the full path to the socket to create. Defaults to
'/var/run/weldr/api.socket'

f116ee8f05 Add reqpart to example kickstart files

c8cee96b1c Add --virt-uefi to boot the VM using OVMF
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.

81d534670b Package grub2-efi-ia32 need to be added explicitly to example kickstarts. (#1458937)
Boot on 32bit UEFI requires this package. Legacy grub2-efi package
is satisfied only with grub2-efi-x64 package and grub2-efi-ia32 is missing.

351b4a0ce4 Remove incorrect variables from rhel7-livemedia.ks example
The only environmental variable set during %post is $ANA_INSTALL_PATH
which points to the installroot (usually /mnt/sysimage). It can be used
in a %post --nochroot to copy things from the installer root to the
target's root filesystem.

This removes the %post --nochroot section because the image is not
accessable at this point in the process. Items that need to go into the
/ of the iso need to be added in the final iso creation templates, like
x86_64.tmpl

3f5047dd4f livemedia-creator: Remove random-seed from images (#1258986)
systemd uses /var/lib/systemd/random-seed to add entropy to /dev/urandom
at boot time. During image creation this file is created, and if not
removed everything using the image will be adding the same seed.

This is only additional entropy, NOT a seed in the sense of a starting
point for a PRNG, so it will be mixed with other entropy as the system
runs. It isn't a good idea to use the same value everywhere so make sure
it is removed in %post

28801d8d42 Add --make-pxe-live and --make-ostree-live (for Atomic) targets.
Resolves: rhbz#1184021

--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.

526988651d livemedia-creator: Add support for making tarfiles (#1144140)
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.
