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.

Don't use ${CONF_PATH}.qubes, because it may override some existing
file, and is racy approach (even if not against user, but another script
instance).

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.

* origin/pr/42:
dropins: implement dropins for systemd user starting with pulseaudio systemd service and socket masking
dropins: make current systemd dropins specific to systemd-system in order to introduce dropins for systemd-user
add DROPINS for org.cups.cupsd systemd files.
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.

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.
