min-free-space-* act as a gating condition whether to we want hold onto caches in
repo/tmp. If it is found that the free-disk space is going below this threshold,
we flag it as an error and cleanup current boot's staging directory.

Here's a subtle bug in abort_transaction():
One of the policies of cleaning up is to skip the current boot's staging
directory. The responsible function for this is cleanup_tmpdir() which tries
to lock each of the tmpdir before deleting it. When it comes to the current
boot's staging dir, it tries to lock the directory(again!) but fails as there
is already a lockfile present. Just because the current boot's staging dir was
meant to be skipped, the bug never surfaced up and wasn't catastrohpic.
if (!_ostree_repo_try_lock_tmpdir (dfd, path, &lockfile, &did_lock, error))
return FALSE;
if (!did_lock)
return TRUE; /* Note early return */
...
if (g_str_has_prefix (path, self->stagedir_prefix))
return TRUE; /* Note early return */
The actual check for skipping staging dir for current boot was never reached
because the function returned at did_lock failure.
Therefore, execute cleanup_tmpdir() after releasing the lockfile in
abort_transaction() so that cleanup_tmpdir gets a chance to lock current boot's
staging directory and succeed.

During the pull, there is an explicit check for free space on disk
vs. the size of uncompressed delta; But while writing the new content
objects that are generated, they have to honor min-free-space-* checks
too. We enforce this check in _bare_content_commit as that is where
we can know the final size of the new content object.

Similar to min-free-space-percent but it supports specific sizes
(in MB, GB or TB). Also, making min-free-space-percent and -size
mutually exclusive.
min-free-space-percent does not give a fine tuning of the free disk
space that a user might decide to keep. It can translate to very large
size (e.g. 1% = ~10GB on 1TB HDD) or very small (e.g. 1% = ~330MB on 32GB
system like Endless devices). Hence, it makes sense to introduce a config
option to honor specific size as per the user.
