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
file, so user is free to change this setting if his/shes particular
controller doesn't have such problem.

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

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 `$nrconf{override_rc}`, i.e. packages only reported to need
restart, but blacklisted from default/suggested automatic restarted with
`qubes-core-agent` and `qubes-gui-agent`.
See also `$nrconf{override_rc}`:

Thanks to @liske for helping with this.

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.

* origin/pr/31:
Fixed /etc/pam.d/su.qubes. (Moved line 'auth sufficient pam_permit.so' up. May not be low '@include' lines.)
- Prevent 'su -' from asking for password in Debian [based] templates. Thanks to @unman and @marmarek for suggesting the fix! 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.

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.
