c86bd205c3 Add check for templates.d in the sharedir
This allows lorax to support multiple templates.

If there is no templates.d under the sharedir (/usr/share/lorax or the
directory passed by --sharedir) then the templates in that directory
will be used as they were previously.

If there are directories under templates.d the first one will be used,
unless --sharedir points to a specific one.

87d941b81a livemedia-creator: Add kernel-modules and kernel-modules-extra to examples
If you don't do this DNF will add the debug kernel to the package set to
satisfy kmod() requirements.

Also bump the default releasever for lmc to 24.

ba4218ea98 livemedia-creator: Make sure the rootfs.img can be compressed
Use 4k blocks for the ext4 filesystem. Run fsck on the filesystem to
make sure deleted blocks are actually zeroed, and pass -Xbcj to
mksquashfs.

4k blocks and -Xbcj decreases the size by 2-6% depending on the
filesystem size. Zeroing the blocks of the ext4 fs improves things
dramatically. The problem is that DNF downloads the rpms before
installing them. In addition to forcing us to use a larger filesystem
than we would like it leaves data that is difficult to compress on the
image. The downloaded files are removed, but need to be zeroed out so
that mksquashfs can compress it.

b138b27bd8 Add --iso-name to use with --iso-only
Instead of reusing --image-name add a new argument to name the iso. This
way the disk image can be given a unique name with --image-name and the
iso can be named something different.

33d008d9f2 livemedia-creator: Fix calculation of disk_size in some cases
If the kickstart includes multiple definitions for the same mount point,
the last one defined is used. The current code includes all of them in
size calculation, and the image file that livemedia-creator makes is big
enough to hold all of the partitions, even though the duplicates are
ignored by Anaconda.

ceabb7e214 Write a list of debuginfo packages to /root/debug-pkgs.log (#1068675)
Sometimes debugging a boot.iso requires using gdb, and finding the
corresponding debuginfo packages can be difficult. This writes the
matching -debuginfo package names and full ENVR to a file on the iso.
This can then be fed to dnf to install the correct debug packages.

0d22b72615 livemedia-creator: Raise an error if url is used without networking
Because livemedia-creator is using a media based installation by default,
no networking is brought up automatically. If then the url installation
method is used, it fails with an unclear reason.

This patch adds a check to raise a clear error if the url installation
method is used insisde the kickstart but no networking is configured.
