Add concept of "staged" deployment

Add API to write a deployment state to `/run/ostree/staged-deployment`,
along with a systemd service which runs at shutdown time.

This is a big change to the ostree model for hosts,
but it closes a longstanding set of bugs; many, many people have
hit the "losing changes in /etc" problem.  It also avoids
the other problem of racing with programs that modify `/etc`
such as LVM backups:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365297

We need this in particular to go to a full-on model for
automatically updated host systems where (like a dual-partition model)
everything is fully prepared and the reboot can be taken
asynchronously.
