Since the qubes-download-dom0-updates script executes dnf with fakeroot, some dnf plugins like etckeeper break the update with "Permission denied" errors.
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=...
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#2945
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.

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.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1475
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.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1282
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`.

Restore support for older yum: no --downloadonly option, so use
yumdownloader.
Also add some a code to handle some Debian quirks - especially default
rpmdb location in user home...
This better handles dependencies (especially of "Obsolete:" type).
Unfortunately yum install/upgrade checks if running as root. Because we
are only downloading packages, using local "system root" (--installroot
option) no real root access is requires, so use fakeroot to mute yum
error.
Get rid of underscores in filenames, use dashes instead.
This is first part of cleanup in filenames.
"qubes_rpc" still untouched - will be in separate commit.
