Previously even if NetworkManager was enabled, our script manually
configured network parameters. This apparently have negative effects,
because NetworkManager tries to configure some things differently - for
example use metric 1024 for default gateway.

* origin/pr/48:
Allow to provide customized DispVM home directly in the template VM
This allows to put a customized DispVM home directly in /home_volatile
in the template instead of placing it in the -dvm internal AppVM.
This significantly speeds up DispVM startup for large customized homes,
since none of the home data has to be copied out from saved_cows.tar to
volatile.img, and instead CoW is used.
It's not a very user friendly or discoverable solution, but it only
takes a few lines of code, and so seems a reasonable stopgap until a
much more complex solution with copy-on-write for the private.img is
written.
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.

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.
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`.

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.
