Some of the reasons:
- dnf doesn't support --downloaddir option
- dnf doesn't support `copy_local` repo option (used in automated tests
only)
- dnf is horribly slow, especially without cache fetched
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227014)
This is all needed (instead of simply using `yum` command), because
Fedora >= 22 have an command redirection `yum`->`dnf`.

To get endless sleep, `sleep inf` (or `sleep infinity`) can be used
instead of `sleep 365d`. Coreutils' sleep accepts any floating-point
number as an argument, which may be 'infinity', according to
`man strtod`.
This makes the qfile packing code reusable, for example for some dom0
tool. Now qfile-agent.c is only an interface for underlying library.

According to Desktop Entry Specification:
NoDisplay means "this application exists, but don't display it in the
menus". This can be useful to e.g. associate this application with MIME
types, so that it gets launched from a file manager (or other apps),
without having a menu entry for it (there are tons of good reasons
for this, including e.g. the netscape -remote, or kfmclient openURL kind
of stuff).
Apparently over half of desktop files in default Fedora template have
NoDisplay=true...

Return some meaningful error code. Unfortunately the more meaningful
option (retrieving process exit code) can lead to false errors
(described in comment), but at least report exit code of tar2qfile.
When qfile-unpacker's child encountered an error, it would display an
error message and exit(1), but the parent didn't inspect its status and
exited successfully.
That was unfortunate for qvm-move-to-vm: Even if the destination VM e.g.
didn't have enough free disk space, the RPC call would claim to succeed
anyway, so the file would be deleted from the source VM.
The custom way proved to be unreliable - for example does not survive
`locales` package upgrade. So settle on much more reliable way.

* origin/pr/37:
archlinux: readd lines removed by error during merge
archlinux: readd notification-daemon as a dependency
archlinux: force running scripts with python2 even when /usr/bin/env is used
archlinux: update packaging and install script to use systemd DROPINs
Implement one of TODOs left in the code. Without this buffering, it may
happen that qrexec-agent will hang waiting on write(2) to the child
process, while that child will do the same (try to write something to
the qrexec-agent), without reading its stdin. This would end up in a
deadlock.

Without dconf, gsettings uses "memory" backend which isn't saved
anywhere and isn't shared across applications. This makes gsettings
pretty useless.

According to the specification[1], the setting name is 'addresses', not
'address'. The later apparently worked on some NetworkManager versions,
but for example not on the one in Debian wheezy. Also fix value
format (IP;netmask;gateway).

Do not modify main /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf as it would
cause conflicts during updates. Use
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/30-qubes.conf instead.
Also remove some dead code for dynamically generated parts (no longer
required to "blacklist" eth0 in VMs - we have proper connection
generated for it). It was commented out for some time already
