1eff3e8343 Add a notion of "physical" sysroot, use for remote writing
Using `${sysroot}` to mean the physical storage root: We don't want to write to
`${sysroot}/etc/ostree/remotes.d`, since nothing will read it, and really
`${sysroot}` should just have `/ostree` (ideally). Today the Anaconda rpmostree
code ends up writing there. Fix this by adding a notion of "physical" sysroot.
We determine whether the path is physical by checking for `/sysroot`, which
exists in deployment roots (and there shouldn't be a `${sysroot}/sysroot`).

In order to unit test this, I added a `--sysroot` argument to `remote add`.
However, doing this better would require reworking the command line parsing for
the `remote` argument to support specifying `--repo` or `--sysroot`, and I
didn't quite want to do that yet in this patch.

b6ec7526b5 u-boot: Merge ostree's and systems uEnv.txt
This is a proper fix for:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755787

With this patch, an admin (system builder) can now:

1) Edit /usr/lib/ostree-boot/uEnv.txt
2) Deploy the new tree. OSTree will append system's uEnv.txt
   to the OSTree's managed uEnv.txt (loader/uEnv.txt).

It is common for u-boot systems to read in an extra env
from external /uEnv.txt. The same file OSTree uses to pass
in its env. With this patch /uEnv.txt now contains OSTree's
env + custom env added by system builders.

4e81548447 Introducing ostree-grub-generator
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:

5ebe43859d tests: Use "bash strict mode"
I noticed in the static deltas tests, there were some tests that
should have been under `-o pipefail` to ensure we properly propagate
errors.

There were a few places where we were referencing undefined variables.

Overall, this is clearly a good idea IMO.

df0cae4375 tests: Export OSTREE_SYSROOT in setup_os_repository
Eliminates the need for constantly passing --sysroot=sysroot, but
also makes ostree place remote configs for sysroot/ostree/repo in
sysroot/etc/ostree/remotes.d where they should have been all along.

d546abfa2a libostree: Add initial GRUB2 support
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.
