Introduce ex livefs

There are a few different use cases here. First, for layering new packages,
there's no good reason for us to force a reboot. Second, we want some support
for cherry-picking security updates and allowing admins to restart services.  Finally,
at some point we should offer support for entirely replacing the running tree
if that's what the user wants.

Until now we've been very conservative, but there's a spectrum here. In
particular, this patch changes things so we push a rollback before we start
doing anything live. I think in practice, many use cases would be totally fine
with doing most changes live, and falling back to the rollback if something went
wrong.

This initial code drop *only* supports live layering of new packages.  However,
a lot of the base infrastructure is laid for future work.

For now, this will be classified as an experimental feature, hence `ex livefs`.
