39213b7f44 objectstore: copy on write semantics for Object
Since Object knows its base now, the initialization of the tree
with the content of its base can be delayed until the moment
someone wants to actually modify the tree, thus implementing
copy on write semantics. For this a new `write` method is added
that will initialize the base and return the writable tree. It
should be used instead of `path` whenever the a client wants to
write to the tree of the Object.
Adapt the pipeline and the tests to use the new `write` method
in all the appropriate places.
NB: since the intention can not be inferred when using `path`
directly, the Object is still being initialized there.

0874b80734 objectstore: Object knows its base
When a new Object is created it can have a `base`, i.e. another
object that is already committed to the store, which is then used
to initialize the tree of the new object. That is, the contents
of the new Object will be based on the contents of the existing.
The initialization of an Object with its base (if any) was done
by the ObjectStore. Move all of that logic inside `Object`:
The Object will store its base, which `Object.init` will use to
initialize itself. Additionally, if `Object.path` is accessed
`init` is being called as well to make sure it is properly
initialized, i.e. the tree initialized with the base content.

25b3807a5b objectstore: snapshot takes Object not path
Refactor the `ObjectStore.snapshot` method to take an `Object` not
a plain filesystem tree, so the latter is more encapsulated from
the ObjectStore user (e.g. the pipeline) and prepares a unified
code-path for `snapshot` and `commit` in the future.

5deb1be514 objectstore: change Object.move to .store_tree
Now that Object manages its work directory itself, re-create the
latter when the its tree is moved, i.e. when the object is being
committed to the store. This means that after the object has been
written to the store it is in the same state is if it was new and
can be used in the very same way.
If the move itself fails (the rename(2) fails), the tree and its
contents is cleaned up with the reset of the work directory.
Rename the `move` method to `store_tree` to better reflect how the
method should be used, i.e. to store the tree corresponding to the
Object instance.

6d14dee9a2 objectstore: object manages its work dir
When a new object is being created, a corresponding temporary
directory is created within the file system tree of the object
store, which shall be called the "work dir". Within that dir a
well-known directory ('tree') is created that then is the root
of the filesystem tree[1] that clients use to store the tree
or the resulting image in.
Previously, the work dir was managed, i.e. created and cleaned
up (via a context manager) by the ObjectStore. Now the Object
itself manages the tree and thus the lifetime of the work dir
is more directly integrated and controlled by it. As a result
the Object itself is now a context manager. On exit of the
context the work dir is cleaned up.

[1] For the assembler this is the output directory that will
    contain the final image.

d10537da42 objectstore: yield Object not path from .new()

19f49e5dc3 objectstore: rename TreeObject to Object
As the name implies, the ObjectStore stores objects, which can be
trees but also everything an Assembler can make of the input tree,
like qcow2 images, tarballs and other non tree-like outputs.
Therefore rename the TreeObject to Object to better reflect that it
is representing any object, not only trees, in the store.

a578a2b7e7 pipeline: detect host instead of using org.osbuild.host
Detect the host dynamically from os-release(5) instead of relying on the
`org.osbuild.host` symlink.

It is awkward to install a symlink that tells osbuild which distro is is
running on, when there is a standard way to detect this.

This makes it easier to run osbuild from sources and removes the need to
include every host in the spec file. The latter became hard to do,
because there's no obvious way to distinguish RHEL minor releases.

e48c2f178c osbuild: allow the sources to be passed in on stdin
Currently stdin is taken to be the pipeline to be built, this allows
it to be instead a map containing the suorces and the pipeline.
We would imagine passing around the sources and pipeline together, so
this just makes the behavior of osbuild more closely match the intended
use and semantics of the sources configuration.

This keeps backwards compatibility for now, but that may be dropped as
soon as osbuild-composer no longer relies on the old behavior.

Disable too-many-{branches,statements} pylint warnings in __main__.py.
These do not seem helpful, but could be reenabled if we drop some
options in the future.

481213a8dd pipeline: pin the sources options in the pipeline object
Make the sources options a static property of the pipeline, in
particular of each stage, rather than being passed in on `run()`.

This more closely matches the intended semantics of sources and
pipeline having similar lifetimes and being fairly coupled together.

The difference between the pipeline and the sources is that the
sources do not contribute to identifying the pipeline (they are not
part of the hash for the pipeline id), and they could be swapped
out without changing the output image (as long as they are valid).
However, a pipeline without A sources object would not be useful,
and typically the pipeline and the sources are generated, passed
around and used together.

This is different from the build environment and the secrets object,
which both are specific to either the host or the caller, unlike
the pipeline which should be universal.

This changes the `load()` function to take a `manifest`, which is
a map containing both the pipeline and the sources.

Note that the semantics of the build-env parameter remains unchanged:
It shares the sources with the rest of the pipeline. We may want to
reconsider this in future commits, as the build-env is specific to
the host, whereas the regular pipeline is not.

16dfd7eec1 remoteloop: drop O_DIRECT
Appart from giving us a hard time on s390x, this feature did not seem
to have a measurable effect. Moreover, O_DIRECT is not supported by
tmpfs so without this patch we could not use tmpfs as backing store,
which does speed up image generation considerably.

Drop the flag and and rather put the store on tmpfs in order to speed
things up.

7817ae5e8b sources: add org.osbuild.files source
This source adds support for downloaded files. The files are
indexed by their content hash, and the only option is their URL.

The main usecase for this will be downloading rpms. Allowing depsolving
to be done outside of osbuild, network access to be restricted and
downloaded rpms to be reused between runs.

Each source is now passed two additional arguments, a cache directory
and an output directory. Both are in the source's namespace, and
the source is responsible for managing them. Each directory may
contain contents from previous runs, but neither is ever guaranteed
to do so.

Downloaded contents may be saved to the cache and resued between
runs, and the requested content should be written to the output dir.
If secrets are used, the source must only ever write contents to
the output that corresponds to the available secrets (rather than
contents from the cache from previous runs).

Each stage is passed an additional argument, a sources directory.
The directory is read-only, and contains a subdirectory named after
each used source, which will contain the requseted contents when
the `Get()` call returns (if the source uses this functionality).

Based on a patch by Lars Karlitski.

7bb06d2334 loop: handle set_status returning EBUSY
This happens rarely when the same loop device is used in rapid
succession. The kernel flushes the page cache asynchronously, which
means that it might not be cleared yet when a new file is bound.
`set_status` checks if the cache is clear (`set_fd` doesn't).

Handle this by trying a different device when `set_status` returns
`EBUSY`.

64addbe2d2 buildroot: allow creating device nodes on s390x
The z Initial Program Loader (zipl) when creating the bootmap in
bootmap_creat (src/zipl/bootmap.c) wants to create a device node
via misc_temp_dev (bootmap_create:1141) for the device that it
is installing the bootloader to[1]. Currently access to loopback
devices is allowed from within the container (it is used to mount
the image), but only read/write access. On s390x also allow the
creation of device nodes, so zipl can do its work and install
the bootloader stages on the "disk".

510e2b1e94 osbuild: introduce sources
Pipelines encode which source content they need in the form of
repository metadata checksums (or rpm checksums). In addition, they
encode where they fetch that source content from in the form of URLs.
This is overly specific and doesn't have to be in the pipeline's hash:
the checksum is enough to specify an image.

In practice, this precluded using alternative ways of getting at source
packages, such as local mirrors, which could speed up development.

Introduce a new osbuild API: sources. With it, a stage can query for a
way to fetch source content based on checksums.

The first such source is `org.osbuild.dnf`, which returns repository
configuration for a metadata checksum. Note that the dnf stage continues
to verify that the content it received matches the checksum it expects.

Sources are implemented as programs, living in a `sources` directory.
They are run on the host (i.e., uncontained) right now. Each source gets
passed options, which are taken from a new command line argument to
osbuild, and an array of checksums for which to return content.

This API is only available to stages right now.

ede3f6baeb pipeline: proper object cleanup on errors
The recent changes removed the {Assembler,Stage}Failed exceptions,
which includes them being thrown from Stage.run and Assembler.run.
Instead result dictionaries are returned even on errors. But the
object store, used as a context manager, relies on exceptions to
detect the error case and thus needs them to cleanup the temporary
objects. Without those exceptions the temporary objects end up in
the store even when the sage or assembler failed.
Restore the old behavior by throwing a generic BuildError exception
from the Stage and Assembler, which will be caught directly in the
pipeline and converted to a result dict.

Work around a combination of systemd not creating the link from
/lib64 -> /usr/lib64 (see systemd issue #14311) and the dynamic
linker is being set to (/lib/ld64.so.1 -> /lib64/ld64.so.1)
Therefore we manually create the link before calling nspawn

f0a7b2261e pipeline: introduce host runner
osbuild currently throws an error when not passing a build environment
on the command line, because the runner is unset. This is annoying on
hosts which only need a runner set, but no build pipeline.

To simplify running osbuild in this common case, introduce
`org.osbuild.host`, which is a runner that is defined to work on the
host that osbuild is installed on. Use this runner by default and
include a symlink to the right runner in the Fedora and RHEL packages.

Also add `runners/org.osbuild.host` to `.gitignore`, so that developers
can set the symlink when running osbuild from the source directory.

Fixes #171

7754fd8e78 treesum: don't use dir_fd parameter in os.scandir()
This parameter was added in python 3.7, but we're only depending on 3.6
for RHEL.

Pass a path to `/proc/self/fd/...` instead.

64713449ce Introduce runners
We've been using a generic `osbuild-run`, which sets up the build
environment (and works around bugs) for all build roots. It is already
getting unwieldy, because it tries to detect the OS for some things it
configures. It's also about to cause problems for RHEL, which doesn't
currently support a python3 shebang without having /etc around.

This patch changes the `build` key in a pipeline to not be a pipeline
itself, but an object with `runner` and `pipeline` keys. `pipeline` is
the build pipeline, as before. `runner` is the name of the runner to
use. Runners are programs in the `runners` subdirectory.

Three runners are included in this patch. They're copies of osbuild-run
for now (except some additions for rhel82). The idea is that each of
them only contains the minimal setup code necessary for an OS, and that
we can review what's needed when updating a build root.

Also modify the `--build-pipeline` command line switch to accept such a
build object (instead of a pipeline) and rename it accordingly, to
`--build-env`.

Correspondingly, `OSBUILD_TEST_BUILD_PIPELINE` → `OSBUILD_TEST_BUILD_ENV`.

616e1ecbba buildroot: run everything with osbuild-run
`osbuild-run` sets up the build root so that programs can be run
correctly in it. It should be run for all programs, not just stages and
assemblers (even though they're the only consumers right now).

Also, conceptually, `osbuild-run` belongs to the build root. We'll
change its implementation based on the build root in a future commit.

The buildroot already sets up `/run/osbuild/api`. It makes sense to have
it manage libdir as well.

A nice side benefit of this is a simplification of the Stage and
Assembler classes, which grew quite complex and contained duplicate
code.

6e5b838892 pipeline: use API to setup stdio inside the container
Use the new the osbuild API to setup the standard input/output
inside the container, i.e. replace stdin, stdout, and stderr with
sockets provided by the host.

93e1c60460 api: new host side API to be used by the container
Introduce an osbuild API that can be used by the container to talk
to the osbuild host. It currently supports one method 'setup-stdio'
which should be used by the container to setup its standard input/
output so the stages can transparently do i/o with the osbuild host
via stdio.
The input data (args) is written to a temp-file backed buffer. The
output is either the host's stdout directly or another temp-file
backed buffer; the latter is re-opened (via /proc/self/fd) to get
another file-descriptor for the container, so in theory the host
and the container could do i/o to the same buffer independently.
