We want a case where we can disable the min-free-space check. Initially,
it felt like to add a OSTREE_REPO_PULL_FLAGS_DISABLE_FREE_SPACE_CHECK but
the problem is prepare_transaction() does not have a OstreeRepoPullFlags
parameter which we can parse right here. On top of it, prepare_transaction()
enforces min-free-space check and won't let the transaction proceed if
the check failed.
This is pretty bad in conjunction with "inherit-transaction" as what
Flatpak uses. There is no way to disable this check unless we remove
it altogether from prepare_transaction.
This issue came out to light when flatpak wasn't able to write metadata
after fetching from remote:
[uajain@localhost ~]$ flatpak remote-info flathub org.kde.Platform//5.9
error: min-free-space-size 500MB would be exceeded
Metadata objects helps in housekeeping and restricting them means
restricting crucial UX (like search, new updates) functionalities
in clients like gnome-software. The error banners originated from
these issues are also abrupt and not much helpful to the user. This
is the specific instance of the issue this patches tries to address.
See https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/2139 for discussion.

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.

Let's be opinionated now, and our installed/ test story *is*
Ansible/STR. Merge `tests/fedora-str` into `tests/installed/`.
Rework the nondestructive tests into a separate playbook run, and parallelize
them for more efficiency.
The destructive tests are also changed to use Ansible more.
Add a higher level `run.sh` entrypoint and update the `README.md`
with some useful tips.
