1a653dad7f livemedia-creator: Use discard during installation
This could help to keep the disk size down during installation,
if the FS within the VM is also supporting TRIM.

f2239d7860 livemedia-creator: Use cache=unsafe for the installation disk
This should improve the installation speed, as no sync is required on the
underlying disk.

e728e9ccee Include qemu modules in the initrd
This includes, among other things, virtio-rng. Without it the initrd may
take longer to initialize the random non-blocking pool on KVM
installations.

50bda8cf17 livemedia-creator: Check kickstart for shutdown (#1207959)
When using virt with livemedia-creator the kickstart needs to include
shutdown to make sure it doesn't hang at the end of the installation.

compatible) is to reference it as stage2=hd:LABEL=...

7a1227a522 Add support for .repo files (#1264058)
This adds the --repo command which can be added multiple times to point
to dnf .repo files.

--enablerepo and --disablerepo can be used multiple times to control
which repos from the .repo files are actually used for the boot.iso
creation.

--repo can be used instead of --source, or in addition to it.

e5c0c634b0 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.

bb2dc62521 Enable gtk inspector.
Gtk turned off the inspector keybindings by default, because they were
interfering with applications that use a lot of complicated keyboard
shortcuts. This is not a concern for anaconda, and the inspector is
pretty handy, so turn it back on.

a252baed18 lorax: Improve argument parsing and help
Make the metavars useful, not STRING. Simplify some of the error
checking, let the parser handle it. Add type=os.path.abspath to several
path arguments so that relative paths will be converted to absolute
paths when they are processed.

77a7eb266d lorax: Add --sharedir to override configuration path
One of the most useful things to override is the path to the templates,
this adds a cmdline option to do that instead of needing to create a
whole configuration file and pass it.

9ba304d74b Add selinux switch to mktar
Sometimes you don't want to include the selinux xattrs in the tar (eg.
bsdtar has problems extracting them). They are still included by
default, but pass selinux=False to remove '--selinux --acls --xattrs'
from the tar cmdline.

e3d8b01afa Do not let systemd-tmpfiles set up /etc on boot
The etc portion of systemd-tmpfiles creates a broken /etc/resolv.conf,
which breaks networking, and the rest of the stuff in the there is

d282f1fa8c Reduce the size of macboot.img (#952747)
The size estimate was counting the /EFI/BOOT/ contents twice and then
doubling that. Only count things once, then double it for the
System/Library/CoreServices/ copy.

hard-links don't work. With CoreServices hardlinked to /EFI/BOOT/ the
Mac won't boot. With /EFI/BOOT/ hardlinked to CoreServices grub2 cannot
read the config file so there are 2 real copies.

This reduces the image size from 21M to about 12M

b3bf61bfdd Drop multiprocessing for do_transaction (#1208296)
When running the transaction in a separate process it crashes if you use
a https repo source. There's really no need for threads or processes in
lorax so drop it.

Also switched to using the DNF TransactionProgress API for progress
reporting.

6f6af862c6 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

bf255a41a5 Don't include early microcode in initramfs (#1258498)
The system the image boots on will likely not match the host where lorax

a3e1a275ff don't build upgrade.img anymore
fedup is deprecated and abandoned. Let's save time and disk by not
building `upgrade.img` when nothing is going to use it anymore.

For the record, performing upgrades using an initramfs from the new
system turns out to be fragile and hard to support:

* dracut initramfs isn't generic enough to handle booting all systems
  (e.g. missing vconsole.conf means you get keymaps wrong, so users
  can't unlock encrypted disks)

* The ABI differences between the two versions of plymouth, systemd,
  etc. requires nasty workarounds at best and causes nightmarish
  systemd crashes at worst

This patch removes all the code that built and installed `upgrade.img`.

For backwards compatibility, the API retains the `doupgrade` keyword
argument, and the `--noupgrade` flag is still accepted.
