Since some systemd services are moved to other packages, appropriate
%post/%preun should contain the code to enable/disable them.

clock synchronization mechanism rewritten to use systemd-timesync instead of NtpDate; at the moment, requires:
- modifying /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.GetDate to redirect GetDate to designated clockvm
- enabling clocksync service in clockvm ( qvm-features clockvm-name service/clocksync true )
Works as specified in issue listed below, except for:
- each VM synces with clockvm after boot and every 6h
- clockvm synces time with the Internet using systemd-timesync
- dom0 synces itself with clockvm every 1h (using cron)

Instead of calling 'su' to switch the user, use own implementation of
this. Thanks to PAM it's pretty simple. The main reason is to have
control over process waiting for session termination (to call
pam_close_sesion/pam_end). Especially we don't want it to keep std* fds
open, which would prevent qrexec-agent from receiving EOF when one of
them will be closed.
Also, this will preserve QREXEC_AGENT_PID environment variable.

It isn't really needed. It was used to workaround libusb bug (causing
crash when the system does not have any USB controller), but since we
use HVM now which do have some USB controllers it isn't needed anymore.
Also, it is not available in stock Fedora kernels.
Qubes VM require few config options in grub. Ship appropriate
configuration. Debian have grub.d support, so it can be done cleanly.
On Fedora, /etc/default/grub needs to be modified. Still keep the
options in separate file, but include it manually from
/etc/default/grub.

- there are many netcat versions (openbsd, nmap, ...), which behave
differently - especially while handling EOF
- Debian jessie doesn't have nmap-ncat (which handle EOFs sufficiently
good)

While it doesn't make sense to install qubes-core-agent without qrexec,
it may make sense to do the otherway around - install just
qrexec-agent without all the qrexec services and configuration. For
example on some pre-installed system.

When a file is moved to other package, the new package needs Replaces:
and Breaks: dependecies on old package. Otherwise dpkg will refuse to
change file ownership.

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.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2771
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.

Documentation pending: QubesOS/qubes-issues#2829
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.

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).
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.

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.
Since 'script' xenstore entry no longer allows passing arguments
(actually this always was a side effect, not intended behaviour), we
need to pass additional parameters some other way. Natural choice for
Qubes-specific script is to use QubesDB.
And since those parameters are passed some other way, it is no longer
necessary to keep it as separate script.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1143
Up until today, Qubes OS would insist on either masking or disabling
or activating units that should get their state properly changed
but only on first package install (when the template is built).
This commit adds the possibility of having two types of unit presets:
* Initial presets: these are only changed state during first package
installs.
* Upgrade presets: these get their state changed during first
package installs as well as during upgrades.
All the maintainer has to do is abide by the instructions in the
preset file. Nothing else is necessary.
Namely, this allows users to enable SSHD on their templates or
standalone VMs and still keep it enabled even after the
qubes-core-vm-systemd package is upgraded.
Matt really wanted that, and so did I, so now we can do it!
:-)
