Colin Walters b4d21e9406 deploy: Set the immutable bit on the deployment root
This prevents people from creating new directories there and expecting
them to be persisted.  The OSTree model has all local state to be in
/etc and /var.

This introduces a compile-time dependency on libe2fsprogs.

We're only doing this for the root directory at the moment.

README.md

OSTree is a tool for managing bootable, immutable, versioned filesystem trees. While it takes over some of the roles of tradtional "package managers" like dpkg and rpm, it is not a package system; nor is it a tool for managing full disk images. Instead, it sits between those levels, offering a blend of the advantages (and disadvantages) of both.
