Really, all `ostree admin finalize-staged` needs is access to `/sysroot`
and `/boot`. So let's activate it right after `local-fs.target` so that
it gets deactivated later in the shutdown process. This should allow us
to conflict with less services still running and possibly writing things
to `/etc`.

Similar as available for u-boot (ce2995e1dc)
and syslinux (c5112c25e4), enable parsing
and writing devicetree filename into grub.cfg.
This is required by arm64-based devices running edk2 instead of u-boot
as the main bootloader (e.g. 96boards HiKey and HiKey960).

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.

Previously, we were preparing the root very late in the boot process;
right before we switch root. The issue with that is that most services
in the initrd that run `After=initrd-root-fs.target` expect that
`/sysroot` already points to the rootfs we'll be pivoting to. Running
this late violates that assumption.
This patch fixes this by making `ostree-prepare-root.service` instead
run right after `sysroot.mount` (the physical sysroot mounted by
systemd) but still before `initrd-root-fs.target` (which is the target
signalling that `/sysroot` is now valid and ready).
This should make it easier to integrate OSTree with other initrd
services such as Ignition.

For the same reasons as #1697. This is especially important in services
that are likely to be used as an `After/Before=` target in other units.
`ostree-prepare-root.service` is one such service.

Basically for people on e.g. rotational media, the default 90
second timeout can be too small.
We're in a tough situation here, because delaying shutdown
can be problematic too if the user is trying to shut down their
laptop to put in a backpack, etc.
There's potential optimizations here to make; I think we
could pre-copy the kernel/initramfs for example.
I suspect for some people the grub2 os-prober is a factor here too,
if that tries to e.g. inspect attached USB rotational hard drives.
But hopefully we'll get rid of that soon.

This is standard practice for units like this; e.g. it's what
`systemd-remount-fs.service` does. I think it may be part of
or the whole cause for
https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/1471
I haven't reproduced the problem exactly but it seems to me that
if the unit starts and is GC'd, then when systemd goes to execute
a later unit it might end up restarting it.
A noticeable side effect of this is that `systemctl status ostree-remount`
exits with code `0` as expected.

Follow systemd units in using emergency.target, not emergency.service
(which is the sole unit, by default, in emergency.target) so we can
easily reconfigure the units which are actived when entering
emergency mode.

Currently the BLS snippets are named ostree-$ID-$VARIANT_ID-$index.conf,
but the BLS config files are actually sorted by using the version field
which is the inverse of the index.
In most places, _ostree_sysroot_read_boot_loader_configs() is used to
get the BLS files and this function already returns them sorted by the
version field. The only place where the index trailing number is used is
in the ostree-grub-generator script that lists the BLS files to populate
the grub config file.
But for some bootloaders the BLS filename is the criteria for sorting by
taking the filename as a string version. So on these bootloaders the BLS
entries will be listed in the reverse order.
To avoid that, change the BLS snippets filename to have the version field
instead of the index and also to have the version before deployment name.
Make the filenames to be of the form ostree-$version-$ID-$VARIANT_ID.conf
so the version is before the deployment name.

The ostree-grub-generator populates the grub.cfg menu entries using the
BLS config files. But it uses the ls command that by default sorts the
entries alphabetically, so the order won't be correct if there are more
than 10 deployments, i.e:
$ ls -1 /boot/loader/entries/
ostree-fedora-workstation-0.conf
ostree-fedora-workstation-10.conf
ostree-fedora-workstation-1.conf
...
So instead the -v option should be used to make ls use version sorting:
$ ls -1 -v /boot/loader/entries/
ostree-fedora-workstation-0.conf
ostree-fedora-workstation-1.conf
...
ostree-fedora-workstation-10.conf

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.

SPDX License List is a list of (common) open source
licenses that can be referred to by a “short identifier”.
It has several advantages compared to the common "license header texts"
usually found in source files.
Some of the advantages:
* It is precise; there is no ambiguity due to variations in license header
text
* It is language neutral
* It is easy to machine process
* It is concise
* It is simple and can be used without much cost in interpreted
environments like java Script, etc.
* An SPDX license identifier is immutable.
* It provides simple guidance for developers who want to make sure the
license for their code is respected

Previously when initramfs-* was not found in a deployment's
boot directory, it was assumed that rootfs is prepared for
ostree booting by a kernel patch.
With this patch, the behaviour changes to be - if initramfs-*
is not found, assume that system is using a static
ostree-prepare-root as init process. Booting without initramfs
is a common use case on embedded systems. This approach is
also more convenient, than having to patch the kernel.

Why not to use libexecdir?
Because this directory does not exist on some distros or paths
between distros varies. There are several reasons why a well
known path is prefered, for example when generating a kernel
command line:
init=${ostree}/usr/lib/ostree-boot/ostree-prepare-root
In addition this saves us some typing in a console when wanting
to access the "ostree" cmd line.

ostree-grub-generator can be used to customize
the generated grub.cfg file. Compile time
decision ostree-grub-generator vs grub2-mkconfig
can be overwritten with the OSTREE_GRUB2_EXEC
envvar - useful for auto tests and OS installers.
Why this alternative approach:
1) The current approach is less flexible than using a
custom 'ostree-grub-generator' script. Each system can
adjust this script for its needs, instead of using the
hardcoded values from ostree-bootloader-grub2.c.
2) Too much overhead on embedded to generate grub.cfg
via /etc/grub.d/ configuration files. It is still
possible to do so, even with this patch applied.
No need to install grub2 package on a target device.
3) The grub2-mkconfig code path has other issues:

In this approach, we drop a /etc/grub.d/15_ostree file which is a
hybrid of shell/C that picks up bits from the GRUB2 library (e.g. the
block device script generation), and then calls into libostree's
GRUB2 code which knows about the BLS entries.
This is admittedly ugly. There exists another approach for GRUB2 to
learn the BLS specification. However, the spec has a few issues:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2014-July/msg00002.html
This approach also gives a bit more control to the admin via the
naming of the 15_ostree symlink; they can easily disable it:
Or reorder the ostree entries ahead of 10_linux:
Also, this approach doesn't require patches for grub2, which is an
issue with the pressure to backport (rpm-)OSTree to EL7.
tmpfiles.d configurations generally require write access to some places
that are read-only until ostree-remount runs.
Make sure ostree-remount has run first.
