Dom0 may not sent /etc/yum.conf but only /etc/dnf/dnf.conf - handle this
case too. Since dom0 use dnf for a long time, prefer dnf.conf.
Not all versions of dnf supports cachedir option, so handle also the
case when it's set by default to /var/cache/dnf (instead of overriden
with /var/cache/yum with yum.conf). Simply look for packages in whole
/var/cache.

parted tries to load random data for possible partiont table UUID
generation, even though there is no need to generate new UUID. In case
of early VM startup, this is very undesirable as random entropy pool may
not be initialized yet, which will cause parted to block.
Use sfdisk instead, which doesn't try to do that. And also can relocate
backup GPT and resize partition in one go.

Both Archlinux and Fedora 29 have guidelines to point explicitly at
/usr/bin/python2 where it expect python2.
Also, do not use env.

'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.
