This will save a lot of dependencies if networking is not needed in VMs
based on given template. Thanks to updates proxy over qrexec, template
itself do not need to have network configured too.

In Fedora it makes little sense, but in Debian it allows to avoid a lot
of dependencies. So split in both, to keep it simple.

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.

...but installed on all Debian versions. This is mostly required by
vebose file list in debian/qubes-core-agent.install. But also make it
use new options when upstream will set them.

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.
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.
When /etc/yum.conf is not present (yum-deprecated not installed), don't
try to append to it. It would result in invalid configuration file -
without any section header, and break yum when installed later.
This looks like an overkill. And more importantly - required modules are
not installed by default, making it impossible to use in default minimal
template.

qubes-early-vm-config.service depend on qubes-db daemon running, to
retrieve various configuration parameters. But the startup ordering
declaration was missing

Qubes-specific options must be added in NetworkManager.conf, even if
those lines are commented out by default. The problem is solved by using
extended regular expressions.
Before, the script skipped none existing ro paths even if the path
existed below /rw. This would require someone who wants to use bind-dirs
only in TemplateBasedVM to ensure that the paths exist before the
bind-dirs script gets called.
This patch changes this behavior so that if the path exists below /rw, it
is ensured that an (empty) file/directory is present in ro (where the
corresponding path from /rw is then bind mounted over).
Requires: Docs update. I can open a PR when this PRs looks good.
Fixes limitation: "Does not work if the file / folder in question does
not already exist in the root image. I.e. a file that does not exist in
the root image cannot be bind mounted in the TemplateBasedVM."
Example use case: https://github.com/debops/ansible-persistent_paths
Tested on: Qubes OS 3.2; Debian 8 TemplateBasedVM (and Template)

When trying offline resize2fs, it require running fsck first, which
takes time, especially on large volumes. And in most cases, resize2fs
will notice that no action is needed - after wasting some time on fsck.
To remedy this, use resize2fs in online mode (on mounted filesystem).
And drop fsck call if it fails (filesystem is already mounted
read-write, running fsck isn't good idea).
But do not remove fsck call completely - still call it, but without '-f'
flag, so it run actual check only when really needed (unclean shutdown,
last check far in the past etc).
