XFS doesn't flush the journal on `syncfs()`. GRUB doesn't know how to follow the
XFS journal, so if the filesystem is in a dirty state (possible with xfs
`/boot`, extremely likely with `/`, if the journaled data includes content for
`/boot`, the system may be unbootable if a system crash occurs.
Fix this by doing a `FIFREEZE`+`FITHAW` cycle. Now, most people
probably would have replaced the `syncfs()` invocation with those two
ioctls. But this would have become (I believe) the *only* place in
libostree where we weren't safe against interruption. The failure
mode would be ugly; nothing else would be able to write to the filesystem
until manual intervention.
The real fix here I think is to land an atomic `FIFREEZETHAW` ioctl
in the kernel. I might try a patch.
In the meantime though, let's jump through some hoops and set up
a "watchdog" child process that acts as a fallback unfreezer.

(Note this PR was reverted in <https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/902>;
this version should be better)
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.
This second iteration of this patch fixes the bug we hit the first time;
embarassingly enough I broke `ostree remote list` finding system remotes.
The fix is to have `ostree_repo_open()` figure out whether it's the same
as `/ostree/repo` for now.
Down the line...we might consider having the `ostree remote` command line itself
instatiate an `OstreeSysroot` by default, but this maximizes compatibility; we
just have to pay a small cost that `ostree` usage outside of that case like
`ostree static-delta` in a releng Jenkins job or whatever will do this `stat()`
too.

This reverts commit 1eff3e8343. There
are a few issues with it. It's not a critical thing for now, so
let's ugly up the git history and revisit when we have time to
debug it and add more tests.
Besides the below issue, I noticed that the simple `ostree remote add`
now writes to `/ostree/repo/config` because we *aren't* using the
`--sysroot` argument.

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.

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:

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.
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.
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.
