'which' is an external tool, 'type' is a shell builtin. Using the latter
shaves off a bit of latency.
Also use the already open stderr file descriptor for redirection.
Since fixing QubesOS/qubes-issues#3213, launch function correctly waits
for some applications exit. This is undesirable for
qubes-session-autostart service, which should just start the
applications and exit.
Since we have proper python package, use it instead of hacky one-file
package. This will ease installation and packaging, including switching
to python3.
* qubesos/pr/94:
Drop fakeroot for list/search actions on Debian
dom0-update: add some approximation of 'list', 'search' and 'reinstall'
dom0-updates: refactor for ease adding new actions with old yum
Update dom0 about all applications installed, not only desktop files for
them. Update also supported features and other things advertised
initially at template installation.

GNOME automatically set scaling factor to 2 when HiDPI is detected.
Unfortunately it does it also on not really HiDPI displays, making the
whole UI unusably large. There is no middle ground - scaling factor must
be integer, so 1.5 is not supported. Lets opt on a conservative side and
fallback to scaling factor 1.
Solution by @alyssais, thanks!

I have been using this with a dbus-less Gentoo template since the original
change, and have tested recently on whonix-gw with dbus enabled and running.
(cherry picked from commit bf69335074b45157734b881cc14d54ea43e7902a)
Since the qubes-download-dom0-updates script executes dnf with fakeroot, some dnf plugins like etckeeper break the update with "Permission denied" errors.

debian: cleanup after splitting qubes-core-agent
Fix removing temporary file after editing in (Disp)VM
network: fix rules for network setup on new udev
debian: disable timer-based apt-get
Debian stretch in default configuration calls apt-get update every 24h.
And additionally, have automatic unattended security updates enabled.
Generally it would be good thing on standalone system, but in AppVM
which loose its rootfs changes after restart it is a waste of resources.
Especially when it kicks in on multiple VMs simultaneously, while on
battery (apt-daily.service have ConditionACPower=true, but VM don't have
that information...).
It would make some sense on TemplateVM/StandaloneVM, but then it kicks
in just at VM startup. Which conflicts with starting the update manually
then (by clicking "update VM" button in manager for example, or using
salt).
So, disable this feature completely.
The actual solution is based on pkg-manager-no-autoupdate by @adrelanos.

If root filesystem is the last partition (new layout), resize it
in-place. Use 'parted' tool because it can resize just one partition,
without need to specify the whole new partition table. Since the
partition is mounted, parted is unhappy to modify it. Force it by
answering to its interactive prompts, and add (apparently not
documented) ---pretend-input-tty to use those answers even
though stdin is not a tty. Split the operation into multiple parted
calls, for more reliable interactive prompts handling.
Qubes 3.x disk layout (no partition table) is also supported, but the
one that was used in Qubes 4.0 rc1 (root filesystem as the first
partition) is not.

Few reasons for this:
1. new templates use dnf to download packages, so yum.conf is unused
2. dom0 in Qubes 4.0 don't have this file at all (so sed fails here)
3. $OPTS already contains --setopt=reposdir=...

When there is only console=hvc0 (i.e. no output to emulated VGA) and
GRUB_TIMEOUT is set to 0, VM startup hangs. This may be very well some
race condition broken by either of console=tty0 or GRUB_TIMEOUT > 0, but
even in such a case, apply this as a workaround for now.
This configuration isn't included twice - it's Debian post-installation
script of grub that copy settings to /etc/default/grub, which results in
parameters being duplicated. Leave it as is for now.
Add GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 for faster VM startup.

Qubes VM require few config options in grub. Ship appropriate
configuration. Debian have grub.d support, so it can be done cleanly.
On Fedora, /etc/default/grub needs to be modified. Still keep the
options in separate file, but include it manually from
/etc/default/grub.
