Rather than manually starting the `ostree-finalize-staged.service` unit,
we can leverage systemd's path units for this. It fits quite nicely too,
given that we already have a path we drop iif we have a staged
deployment.
To give some time for the preset to make it to systems, we don't yet
drop the explicit call to `systemctl start`. Though we do make it
conditional based on a DEBUG env var so that we can actually test it in
CI for now. Once we're sure this has propagated, we can drop the
`systemctl start` path and the env var together.

For `rpm-ostree ex livefs` we have a use case of pushing a rollback
deployment. There's no reason this should require deleting the staged
deployment (and doing so actually breaks livefs which tries to access
it as a data source).
I was initially very conservative here, but I think it ends up
being fairly easy to retain the staged deployment. We need to handle
two cases:
First, when the staged is *intentionally* deleted; here, we just need
to unlink the `/run` file, and then everything will be sync'd up after
reloading.
Second, (as in the livefs case) where we're retaining it,
e.g. adding a deployment to the end. What I realized here is that
we can have the code keep `new_deployments` as view without staged,
and then when we do the final reload we'll end up re-reading it from
disk anyways.

I feel like I'm drowning in a pile of experimental-but-almost-stable
features...
Anyways, since we made the feature opt-in in rpm-ostree in
https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/1352
let's mirror that a bit here with an environment variable so people
can play with it more easily.
The tests needed some tweaks; specifically we need to reload the
status fact after making changes. I'm still a bit uncertain
about the Ansible-as-tests.
But we add an upgrade test that uses the new environment variable.

OK so I noticed that something was failing and we were missing
`set -xeuo pipefail` in our shells. That of course revealed
the ansible tests didn't actually work - my only defense
here is spending so much time fighting to get it through CI
and trying something new.
Anyways, to make the staged-deploy tests work we need a task
that actually uses `rpm-ostree override` rather than `usroverlay`.
Let's make this a bit saner and have a clean split between
tests that are "shell-script+usroverlay" and "ansible+override".

These are further fixes based on running more of the rpm-ostree
test suite.
When dropping the staged deployment, we do need to do the
"post operations" such as bumping the sysroot mtime, so that
clients know something changed. We also need to regenerate
the deployment refs. And of course do a sysroot reload.
Also, add a "base cleanup" after creating a staged deployment
which also regenerates the refs.

The fact that `ostree admin deploy` always itself loaded the
merge kargs masked a bug in the core. Let's change our tests
to not pass any kernel arguments to ensure we cover this.
The new logic in the CLI is a bit subtle, but if you read
carefully is a lot clearer I believe. Basically we have one
of a few "starting points" in the first section, which can
then be further augmented.

Followup to: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1503
After starting some more work on on this in rpm-ostree, it is
actually simpler if the staged deployment just shows up in the list.
It's effectively opt-in today; down the line we may make it the default,
but I worry about breaking things that e.g. assume they can mutate
the deployment before rebooting and have `/etc` already merged.
There's not that many things in libostree that iterate over the deployment
list. The biggest change here is around the
`ostree_sysroot_write_deployments_with_options` API. I initially
tried hard to support a use case like "push a rollback" while retaining
the staged deployment, but everything gets very messy because that
function truly is operating on the bootloader list.
For now what I settled on is to just discard the staged deployment;
down the line we can enhance things.
Where we then have some new gymnastics is around implementing
the finalization; we need to go to some effort to pull the staged
deployment out of the list and mark it as unstaged, and then pass
it down to `write_deployments()`.

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.

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.
