Wily images and newer now contain a lxcbr0 by default.
Ignore this interface and don't attempt to dhcp autostart it.

The size of the rootfs fluxuates and sometimes does not fit in the
pre-allocated sizes. Instead, calculate the size needed for the
rootfs read-only partition (+ 100M padding) and use the remaining
space for the overlay partition as it's needed when the install
image updates it's apt repository.

Speed up install time by pre-installing required curtin packages
in the installer image. Do this by optionally exploiting a
curtin feature which handles preparing the target for installation
of services that we don't want running during the image build.
Fallback on simple apt-get install but filter out daemon services
as this will break the image build.

Instead of packing up curtin via source, build a
deb from the source and inject that into the installer.
This also means we always are consuming an 'installed'
curtin (aka /usr/bin/curtin).

RAID devices require special handling since they cannot be partitioned.

Subshell cd to source dir was silently failing. Instead use
tar -C and add an additional check on that we did generate
a subiquity tarball for the installer image.

We want geninstaller to acquire the subiquity source from either
the in-tree directories, or if running installed from a deb, the
path where it was installed.

geninstaller, which is installed as /usr/bin/subiquity-geninstaller
needed some changes to allow it to run outside of the build tree.
Quieted the output from geninstaller a lot and redirect the verbosity
into the log file.

Instead of tracking many directories, we'll use only one
overlay directory to hold any scripts or change we want to
see applied over the base image.

overlayfs changed mount options between different kernel versions.
In some cases, an Ubuntu release may have a different kernel than
what was included during the release, so instead use the version
included in the module itself to determine what parameters to pass
when mounting.

We can't use curses_display with an external event loop (tornado). The good
news is that we don't have to. Instead we switch to using agetty to bypass
login, specify the installer and options to execture. This also handles
respawning the installer and works both on serial and without.

Using parted required root privileges since it opened the underlying device.
Instead create our own Disk model and use sysfs interface for extracting
size information.
This also clears the way for providing device data via probert input. This
means we can feed subiquity a probert dump and have it present that to
the installer UI even if we're running on a different system.

Non-virtio nics get persistent names which require a 2 minute timeout

- storage config is now a dict, with "version: 1" and "config: <storage
config>"
- switched curtin branch to use to lp:curtin, because custom storage features
are now available there
- added apt-get update before installing packages
- install all packages at once instead of looping over them
- check for error from apt-get install
- don't try to chroot if copying resolv.conf fails
- Removed package list from installer-user-data, and added a placemarker
instead
- geninstaller inserts the package list INSTALLER_DEPS into
installer-user-data if OFFLINE is set to no, if OFFLINE is set to yes,
geninstaller chroots into rootfs and does apt-get install for everything in
INSTALLER_DEPS
- If geninstaller is run with -o or --offline, then during generate_img,
chroot into target and run apt-get install with all required packges for
subiquity.
- At the moment, cloud-init will still attempt to install packages when it
boots without network, then fail over to the next part of the init, and
eventually will run subiquity.
- While this is functional for an offline installer, it is preferrable to
tell cloud-init not to try to install packages, to avoid extra delays
and to keep errors out of the cloud-init log
