By installing glibc-minimal-langpack we avoid the installation of glibc-all-langpacks
(glibc requires glibc-langpack (provided by all langpacks) and suggests
glibc-all-langpacks (so that is the default when there is nothing else to
satisfy the require). By forcing a different langpack package, we avoid the
installation of any others.
git-core is similar to git, but does not pull in some lisp and perl stuff.
kernel-core is similar to kernel, but does not include some fancy drivers.

more similar to the cmdline snippet below; perhaps we can later refactor
it into a helper function, similar to systemd’s write_string_file().)
Rename "Post Installation Script" to "Postinstall script" (#235)
The short version is pretty well established in packaging world, and
anyway "post-installation" or even "postinstallation" would be more
correct than "post installation" as an adjective.
Before this patch, mkosi wouldn't even run --help on a platform that
wasn't amd64 or arm64. That's unnecessarily harsh, a lot of functionality
is platform-independent and will work anywhere.

arch: better package selection
The package selection for Arch Linux is not optimal, especially when the
image is not bootable. The main issue is that a kernel is still
installed when the image is not bootable.
Optional packages from the `base` group that are required under specific
configurations are first deleted from the package selection and
explicitly re-added when required. For example, the `cryptsetup` and
`device-mapper` packages are included only if the image is bootable and
encrypted. Similarly, a kernel is included only if the image is
bootable or if the user selected one explicitly.
Sets are now better used in the package selection. The appropriate
operators and methods are directly used instead of relying on
intermediary sets.
The installation of the packages is split into two operations. The first
only installs the packages from the `base` group and the second installs
the packages selected by the user. This is necessary because some
packages (e.g. `git`) have an install script that depends on the `base`
group without listing those in their dependencies. If they are installed
before their implicit dependency, their install script will most likely
fail.

arch: always use the custom pacman.conf
The custom pacman.conf is completed to contain a full explicit
configuration based on the `root` directory inside the workspace.
All the calls to pacman (and related commands) use that configuration
and never touch the host system. Particularly, the host keyring and sync
databases are left untouched.

Support copying git submodule files
Besides getting the files from the git directory, iterate through each
submodules to copy them over to the build image as well. We had some
(better) alternative, but each of them failing to provide what we need:
- Recent versions for git-ls-files learned a --recurse-submodules
but they are not support together with --others
- git-submodule foreach --recursive would allow us to git-ls-files
inside each submodule, however there's no easy way to control from
which submodule the command is printing the files in order to
prepend the submodule path
So for now we live with getting the list of submodules from
`git submodule status --recursive` and calling git-ls-files on each of
them.

Fix copy of symlinks
When copying files we should not be following the symlinks. This became
a problem in kmod after removing the git-clone method to copy files

Stop using git-clone to copy files
This partially reverts "0c8d7d5 (rework copy_git_files() to use a git
clone)", retaining the fixes to ls-files. Using git clone allowed build
systems to get commit information through git and work with submodules,
but it didn't come without drawbacks like modifying the mtime and
permissions of the copied files. The drawbacks means that the build
cache doesn't really work as intended.
For git-submodules another solution will be provided later.
This variable keeps a colon-delimited list of paths to be prepended to
PATH in the context of mkosi execution. Unlike shell variable
expansion, if any path refers to an unset variable, that path will be
ignored.
Besides the environment variables, the variable SUDO_HOME can be used
to refer to the home directory of the user calling mkosi with
sudo. This allows settings like
Use delimiter as parameter. ListAction with a different delimiter will
be used later for colon delimited lists.
Opted to make a CommaDelimitedListAction instead of making "," the
default delimiter so that the lines adding arguments will be more
explicitly about what kind of list they are using.
mkosi: rework how we reenable kernel-install snippets
The old code doesn't really work: we can't store the list of snippets we
masked in a global variable, since we run the whole build process
multiple times and data from the first run might confuse follow-up runs
and really should not.
This reworks the logic so that we keep track precisely which snippets
are masked and return this from disable_kernel_install(). We then pass
that back into reenable_kernel_install() to undo the effect later on.
This way the information never leaks into later runs.
Let's make the funciton more like the other install_xyz() functions.
Let's invoke it from the same place.
Also, most importantly: let's unconditionally remove /etc/hostname
first, so that either what the user configured takes effect or the file
doesn't exist at all, so that systemd's internal default hostname logic
can take place. This is also the better choice in case /etc/hostname is
a symlink.
When resetting machine-id and it doesn't exist, don't fail, just
proceed to create a new one. The basic filesystem of Clear Linux we
will be using for bootstrap doesn't have a /etc/machine-id
out-of-the-box.

Add support to skeleton trees
It's already possible to pass extra trees to copy over the final tree
after installing all packages. However in some cases it is desirable to
copy the tree before installing packages or running anything in the
image. One of the cases is if we want to enable additional repositories
for the package manager or want to configure it in a particular way.
Now mkosi can use a mkosi.skeleton directory (or by passing a
--skeleton-tree argument) in the same way it currently supports extra
trees, however copying them before running the "install_distro" phase.
To allow changing the package manager configuration distros may need
more tweaks to point the package manager to the right files. Right now
this has been tested with Fedora 27 by adding
`mkosi.skeleton/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo` and installing a
package from that repo.

mkosi: Recursively delete btrfs subvolumes (#177)
`btrfs subvol delete` can only delete a subvolume if it is not read-only
and if it does not contain another subvolume.
`btrfs subvol list -o` prints the subvolumes below a certain path, but
only gives the paths relative to the filesystem mount point for those
subvolumes. To compute the paths of the children, we need the relative
path of the parent subvolume given by `btrfs subvol show`.
Read-only subvolumes also have to be writeable again before being
deleted. We unconditionally unset the readonly property on a subvolume
before deletion.
This adds a new "mkosi qemu" verb that is like "mkosi boot" but invokes
things in a QEMU environment.
This tries to find the native qemu implementation, with a couple of
fallbacks if none is found, always opting for KVM acceleration.
This also tries to automatically discover the UEFI firmware blobs. For
now only the location where the files are on Fedora is encoded in the
search path, but this can be updated for other distributions easily
later on.
mkosi: rework "mkosi shell"/"mkosi boot" to use os.execvp()
When invoked this way we are just preparators for the final nspawn

Dracut really should imply that the "qemu" module is used when
"nohostonly" mode is selected (which we select), but it currently does
not, so deal with that.

rework image cache logic so that it works without the presence of a build script (#155)

Fixes #143.
I my build-less case i used the mkosi.postinst to perform the actual customizations, and in that case
the image caching was not used and it took way longer. With these patches the postinst is applied to
the mediacoder-image.raw.cache-pre-inst cache image, speeding up the process.
I use the postinst script to create users, enable/disable services, setup locale, install custom prebuilt
packages. Rebuilding the base image is pretty slow, so i think it is still useful to support -i without
caching (ex: for producing distro spins).
[zj: add commit message based on comments in the PR]
There are various circumstances in which it is OK to have permissions
mask which goes above 0o700:
- when the user has own group
- when the file is shared with others using a special group
- when doing QA and the password should be set but is not secret
- when the access is limited through other means
So let's not be too strict here.
Also, let's use plain octal mask instead of the stat.S_* macros. This
is way more legible! This is inspired by a recent comment from Linus
Torvalds:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/277642dcca765a1955d4c753a5a315ff7f2eb09d.
In Python we have the advantage that we have an unambigous notation
for octal numbers, so let's just use them.

images to physical disks like USB drives without having to write the

reduce the time to write to a disk when we manually set the size of the
partitions.
The general idea is to copy everything, preserving access mode, times,
xattrs on files. An attempt to create the new object is first made,
followed by an unlink and a repeated attempt. This optimizes for the
case where the output tree is empty, which seems to be the common
thing in our case.
Reflink is attempted for normal files.
Symlinks are not adjusted: if they pointed outside of the tree being
copied, they might be dangling now.
Block and character device nodes and any other special files are not
copied.
