clock synchronization mechanism rewritten to use systemd-timesync instead of NtpDate; at the moment, requires:
- modifying /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.GetDate to redirect GetDate to designated clockvm
- enabling clocksync service in clockvm ( qvm-features clockvm-name service/clocksync true )
Works as specified in issue listed below, except for:
- each VM synces with clockvm after boot and every 6h
- clockvm synces time with the Internet using systemd-timesync
- dom0 synces itself with clockvm every 1h (using cron)

It isn't really needed. It was used to workaround libusb bug (causing
crash when the system does not have any USB controller), but since we
use HVM now which do have some USB controllers it isn't needed anymore.
Also, it is not available in stock Fedora kernels.
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.

It is expected to be killed by a signal. Exit with returncode 0 anyway.
While at it, adjust it for current service format (executable, with
proper shebang).
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).
Add --install-layout=deb option to setup.py, so files will not land in
/usr/local.
Also, explicitly list packaged files - make it easier to split the
package later.
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.

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.

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

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.

No functional change.
This will make it easier to switch the tool (without recompiling

conditions.

Many USB controllers doesn't play nice with suspend when attached to PV
domain, so unload those drivers by default. This is just a configuration
file, so user is free to change this setting if his/shes particular
controller doesn't have such problem.

DNF in Fedora 22 uses python2, but in Fedora 23 - python3. Package both

Explicitly block something like "curl http://10.137.255.254:8082" and
return error page in this case. This error page is used in Whonix to
detect if the proxy is torrified. If not blocked, it may happen that
empty response is returned instead of error. See linked ticket for
details.

Apparently unmanaged devices are loaded only from main
NetworkManager.conf. Exactly the same line pasted (not typed!) to main
NetworkManager.conf works, but in
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/30-qubes.conf it doesn't.
BTW There was a typo in option name ("unmanaged_devices" instead of
"unmanaged-devices", but it wasn't the cause).
This reverts commit 6c4831339c.

Because those services do not yet support being restarted.
Extended variable `$nrconf{override_rc}`, i.e. packages only reported to need
restart, but blacklisted from default/suggested automatic restarted with
`qubes-core-agent` and `qubes-gui-agent`.
See also `$nrconf{override_rc}`:

Each time some arbitrary package was installed using dpkg or apt-get, the update notification in Qubes VM Manager was cleared.
No matter if there were still updates pending. (Could happen even after the user running `apt-get dist-upgrade` in case of package manager issues.)
No longer clear upgrade notification in QVMM on arbitrary package installation.
Check if upgrades have been actually installed before clearing the notifications.

Since /lib/modules is not mounted read-only anymore (only a selected
subdirectory there), it is no longer required to prevent kernel package
installation. Even more - since PV Grub being supported, it makes sense
to have kernel installed in the VM.

Initramfs created in TemplateVM may be used also in AppVMs based on it, so
technically it is different system. Especially it has different devices
mounted (own /rw, own swap etc), so prevent hardcoding UUIDs here.

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

Initial size of those tmpfs-mounted directories is calculated as 50% of
RAM at VM startup time. Which happen to be quite small number, like
150M. Having such small /tmp and/or /dev/shm apparently isn't enough for
some applications like Google chrome. So set the size statically at 1GB,
which would be the case for baremetal system with 2GB of RAM.

Fixed /etc/pam.d/su.qubes. (Moved line 'auth sufficient pam_permit.so' up. May not be low '@include' lines.)

Fixes https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1128. - Changed 'ifeq (1,${DEBIANBUILD})' to 'ifeq ($(shell lsb_release -is), Debian)' to make the build work outside of Qubes Builder as well.

Usage of _static_ files (dropins) to override some of autostart entries
(enable/disable them in appropriate VM types) is much simpler and less
error prone than automatic generators.
Handling code is implemented in qubes-session-autostart, which is called
from qubes-session.

Fedora now needs this sudoer rule. Allows sudo to keep the `QT_X11_NO_MITSHM` ENV
variable which prevents MIT-SHM errors for Fedora and Debian when running a QT

- need to sync with upstream changes (configuration path etc)
- conflicts resolution on updates
- lack of iptables --wait, which causes firewall fail to load sometimes
