This will save a lot of dependencies if networking is not needed in VMs
based on given template. Thanks to updates proxy over qrexec, template
itself do not need to have network configured too.

In Fedora it makes little sense, but in Debian it allows to avoid a lot
of dependencies. So split in both, to keep it simple.

This is meant to notify dom0 about features supported by just-installed
template. This service is called by dom0 just after template
installation.

Configure package manager to use 127.0.0.1:8082 as proxy instead of
"magic" IP intercepted later. The listen on this port and whenever
new connection arrives, spawn qubes.UpdatesProxy service call (to
default target domain - subject to configuration in dom0) and connect
its stdin/out to the local TCP connection. This part use systemd.socket
unit in case of systemd, and ncat --exec otherwise.
On the other end - in target domain - simply pass stdin/out to updates
proxy (tinyproxy) running locally.
It's important to _not_ configure the same VM to both be updates proxy and
use it. In practice such configuration makes little sense - if VM can
access network (which is required to run updates proxy), package manager
can use it directly. Even if this network access is through some
VPN/Tor. If a single VM would be configured as both proxy provider and
proxy user, connection would loop back to itself. Because of this, proxy
connection redirection (to qrexec service) is disabled when the same VM
also run updates proxy.

This reverts commit 5dfcf06ef4.
python3-daemon isn't widespread enough yet - for Debian jessie available
only in packports.
In addition to the revert itself, adjust packaging for this change
(mostly for Debian).
This way:
- VM prompt do know VM list, the list may be filtered based on policy
- source VM don't learn name of target VM

glib-compile-schemas recommend naming override files with nn_ prefix,
where nn is a number. Lets use 20, to allow both higher and lower
priority files.

When /etc/yum.conf is not present (yum-deprecated not installed), don't
try to append to it. It would result in invalid configuration file -
without any section header, and break yum when installed later.
Since 'script' xenstore entry no longer allows passing arguments
(actually this always was a side effect, not intended behaviour), we
need to pass additional parameters some other way. Natural choice for
Qubes-specific script is to use QubesDB.
And since those parameters are passed some other way, it is no longer
necessary to keep it as separate script.

Up until today, Qubes OS would insist on either masking or disabling
or activating units that should get their state properly changed
but only on first package install (when the template is built).
This commit adds the possibility of having two types of unit presets:
* Initial presets: these are only changed state during first package
installs.
* Upgrade presets: these get their state changed during first
package installs as well as during upgrades.
All the maintainer has to do is abide by the instructions in the
preset file. Nothing else is necessary.
Namely, this allows users to enable SSHD on their templates or
standalone VMs and still keep it enabled even after the
qubes-core-vm-systemd package is upgraded.
Matt really wanted that, and so did I, so now we can do it!

Do not use a symlink there, as it will be left after NetworkManager
shutdown - as a broken link then

This rewrite is mainly to adopt new interface for Qubes 4.x.
Main changes:
- change language from bash to python, introduce qubesagent python package
- support both nftables (preferred) and iptables
- new interface (https://qubes-os.org/doc/vm-interface/)
- IPv6 support
- unit tests included
- nftables version support running along with other firewall loaded

The systemctl in Debian unstable fails when trying to disable a removed
service. The manpage do not mention a switch to change this behaviour.
But it says:
Note that this operation creates only the suggested symlinks for
the units. While this command is the recommended way to manipulate
the unit configuration directory, the administrator is free to make
additional changes manually by placing or removing symlinks in the
directory.
So a simple rm should be fine.
This doesn't help when xen update is installed after this one. So, deal
with it in xen %post itself.
This reverts commit f2257e1e3b.

systemctl preset output lengthy warning when trying to operate on
non-existing unit. This preset action is meant to disable unit, so it's
even better it doesn't exists.
This have many advantages:
- prevent XSS (QubesOS/qubes-issues#1462)
- use default browser instead of default HTML viewer
- better qrexec policy control
- easier to control where are opened files vs URLs
For now allow only http(s):// and ftp:// addresses (especially prevent
file://). But this list can be easily extended.

xdg-open is more robust in choosing default application for particular
file type: it supports fallback if the preferred application isn't
working, and most importantly it support system-wide defaults
(/usr/share/applications/defaults.list,
/usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list), so no "random" application is
chosen.
By default xdg-open tries to use environment-specific tool, like
gvfs-open - which isn't good for us, because many such tools do not wait
for editor/viewer termination. That would mean that DisposableVM would
be destroyed just after opening the file.
To avoid such effect, we set DE=generic.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1621
No functional change.
This will make it easier to switch the tool (without recompiling
vm-file-editor), or even use differrent tools depending on some
conditions.
