This command regenerates kernel-dependent files. It is meant to
be run after kernel upgrades in the host distribution, to keep
the ostree installation running, and attempts to figure out the
right version automatically (and without changing the ostree checkout)
As the manual page doesn't say, but the in-code kernel documentation
shows, hardlinking for normal users can fail for a variety of
reasons (including very common situations such as non regular file
or non writable file), if the owner of the file does not match
the user linking (e.g. when checking out a shadow repo with a root-
owned master).
If that happens, fail back silently to copying instead of aborting
the whole operation.

Common code was duplicating the command name and not shifting
arguments properly, which thus required the builtins to be aware
of it, instead of being treated like subcommands.
The qemu helper really wants to copy kernel modules, but not
update the system bootloader. Allow it to reuse ostadmin for
this.
Note that our previous path of shelling out to "cp -al" broke because
it refused to make cross-device links.

The old command line syntax assumed you wanted the latest from
a given revision, but to bisect, you really want the ability
to deploy any given one.
Old:
$ ostadmin deploy gnomeos-3.6-i686-{runtime,devel}
New:
$ ostadmin deploy trees/gnomeos-3.6-i686-runtime
$ ostadmin deploy trees/gnomeos-3.6-i686-devel
And note that the deploy directory now changes to:
/ostree/trees/gnomeos-3.6-i686-devel
And now it's possible to:
$ ostadmin deploy trees/gnomeos-3.6-i686-devel trees/gnomeos-3.6-i686-devel^^^
This helps make things less confusing when we try to create a file not
owned by our uid, such as running ostree-pull as non-root on a
repository owned by root.
The "status text" code was assuming that libsoup was only doing one
thing at a time, but that's never been the case. Change the code to
display the status of all active requests.
This can be a large performance win in certain circumstances:
* Cold buffer cache (we don't block the whole process)
* Requiring a copy instead of hardlink
