qubes-sysinit.sh waits for xenbus initialization by watching its
interface file presence. In linux before 3.10 there is no
/dev/xen/xenbus, which is the case in Debian 7 (3.2 kernel). The problem
applies only to the VMs with PVGrub enabled, because otherwise VM would
use dom0 privided kernel, which is much newer.

* Check whether sysctl is accessible
* Check whether a key which exists when CONFIG_MODULES=y is not accessible
If true, CONFIG_MODULES=n, so ignore modprobe failure.
If false, fail.

This is useful for checking ConditionPathExists from within systemd units.

Among other things this also fixes build failure - those scripts were
installed but not listed in spec file.
Actual check doesn't perform 'apt-get update', so do that when running
"standalone" (not as a hook from 'apt-get').

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.

There were multiple problems with reusing existing one:
- need to sync with upstream changes (configuration path etc)
- conflicts resolution on updates
- lack of iptables --wait, which causes firewall fail to load sometimes

qubes-desktop-file-install is called by qubes-triggers-desktop-file-install. It's
arguments are based on the Gnome desktop-install-file utility to allow it to be replaced
by same. Currently the Gnome utility can not be used since it automatically validates
the .desktop entry files with no option to skip validation and will fail on some third
party .desktop files that are not formed properly.
A single trigger script is shared between Fedora, Debian. This script is used by the
package managers triggers and will copy original .desktop files from `/etc/xdg/autostart`
to `/usr/share/qubes/xdg/autostart` and modify the OnlyShownIn / NotShownIn, etc. The
original .desktop files are left untouched and left in place.
Qubes modifies the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to first include the `/usr/share/qubes/xdg`
directory (XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/share/qubes/xdg:/etc/xdg).
If a package gets removed, it's desktop entry is also removed from the /usr/share/qubes/xdg
directory.
'qubes-desktop-file-install' options:
--dir DIR Install desktop files to the DIR directory (default: <FILE>)
--force Force overwrite of existing desktop files (default: False)
--remove-show-in Remove the "OnlyShowIn" and "NotShowIn" entries from the desktop file (default: False)
--remove-key KEY Remove the KEY key from the desktop files, if present
--set-key (KEY VALUE) Set the KEY key to VALUE
--remove-only-show-in ENVIRONMENT Remove ENVIRONMENT from the list of desktop environment where the desktop files should be displayed
--add-only-show-in ENVIRONMENT Add ENVIRONMENT to the list of desktop environment where the desktop files should be displayed
--remove-not-show-in ENVIRONMENT Remove ENVIRONMENT from the list of desktop environment where the desktop files should not be displayed
--add-not-show-in ENVIRONMENT Add ENVIRONMENT to the list of desktop environment where the desktop files should not be displayed
A file is created in /var/lib/qubes/protected-files. Scripts can grep this file before modifying
known files to be protected and skip any modifications if the file path is within protected-files.
Usage Example:
if ! grep -q "^/etc/hostname$" "${PROTECTED_FILE_LIST}" 2>/dev/null; then
Also cleaned up maintainer scripts removing unneeded systemd status functions and streamlined
the enable/disable systemd unit files functions
Offline resize requires to run fsck -f first. Because we support only
growing that image, we can simply use online resize instead.
This finally fixesqubesos/qubes-issues#772
