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.
* fixes-20171019:
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.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2577
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.

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.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1108
When `qubes-dom0-update --refresh` was called, the script checked
metadata twice - once to check updates availability, then to actually
download them. This two stage approach is needed only on Debian, when
--downloadonly option is not supported. Rearrange code accordingly.
Also, drop --doit option (ignore it), as the same (but more readable)
can be achieved with --check-only.
dnf stdout messages differ from yum. Handle this particular difference
(info about last metadata check time), but in addition properly use its
exit code - 0 means no updates, 100 means some updates.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#2096
Since yum-deprecated is slowly removed from Fedora (in Fedora 23 is not
installed by default), we're forced to migrate to dnf. The main problem
with dnf here is lack of --downloaddir option
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279001). As nobody is
going to implement it, simply extract downloaded packages from cache
directory (thanks to provided config file, it is always /var/cache/yum).
This basically replaces "dom0-updates: use yum-deprecated instead of dnf
in all calls" with a set of workarounds for dnf missing parts.

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

Check `yum check-update` exit code, instead of `grep` - when there are
multiple commands on the single line, $? contains exit code of the last

DNF in Fedora 22 uses python2, but in Fedora 23 - python3. Package both
of them, in separate packages (according to Fedora packaging guidelines)
and depend on the right one depending on target distribution version.

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`.

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.

Depending on yum version, adding '-q' option may hide not only
informational messages, but also updates list. This is especially the
case for yum-deprecated in Fedora 22.
So instead of '-q' option, filter the output manually.

Fix for d44c8ac "dom0-updates: prefer yum-deprecated over dnf"
Because of slightly different options and config syntax, it needs to be
used in call calls, not only the one with --downloaddir option.

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.

DNF defaults to skip_if_unavailable=True, so make sure that Qubes
repositories are treated as vital one. Otherwise it would allow an
attacker to cut the user from updates without visible error (when using
PackageKit for example).
Do not set it for unstable repository, as it isn't critical one.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1387
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`.

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.

Gio.DesktopAppInfo.get_boolean was introduced in glib 2.36. Instead of
crashing simply do not support DBusActivatable there. There is no such
application in default Debian wheezy template anyway.
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.
