..except mk-setup-grub.sh.
Extras:
- use PARTUUID/UUID in fstab. It is most flexible and will
allow imagebuilder to use fstab creator from installer
instead its own implementation.
- Renamed /boot/esp ESP mountpoint to /boot/efi.
- Updated installer/README.txt to reflect previous lvm change.
- Fixed UI config for skipping inactive screens.

Move curses.wrapper down to classes/methods instead of
wrapping entire isoInstaller.
It will allow us to run KS installation in console(non curses)
mode, if install_config['ui'] set to false.
Extras:
1) Cleaned up logging.
2) Introduced install_config['log_level'] parameter.
3) Introduced --ui-config argument for isoInstaller.
4) Fixed ostree installation path. OStree installer works,
but target system was not tested.
5) Moved ostree specific install_config options under
install_config['ostree']

Installer engine consist of two pieces (stages):
1) installer.configure(install_config, ui_config)
- install_config is a KS input config as well as 'installer'
portion of image builder config
if 'install_config' is None then configure will trigger
interactive ncurses configurator
- ui_config is a config for interactive ncurses configurator.
Can be used to control what screens to show.
No actions allowed toward target system (disk or image) during
configure stage.
2) installer.execute(install_config)
- takes install_config and "execute" it. All actions on target
system are performed here.
Installer can be run as an app, like ./isoInstaller
In this case control flow looks like:
isoInstaller
<detect KS from kernel cmdline> - no luck
installer.configure(None, ui_config)
ui_config - run ncurses interractive installer to
construct 'install_config'
<perform sanity checks of install_config>
installer.execute(install_config)
When isoInstaller detects KS file - control flow is like:
isoInstaller
<detect KS from kernel cmdline> - success - create 'install_config'
installer.configure(install_config, None)
<perform sanity checks of install_config>
installer.execute(install_config)
When installer called from image builder it is similar to KS case:
image builder
<parses its config file> - creates install_config out of
'installer' section
installer.configure(install_config, None)
<perform sanity checks of install_config>
installer.execute(install_config)
<performs post actions>
<convert raw disk to some output format>
Changed images config file to move installer specific
changes to 'installer' subsection
Deprecate install_config fields: iso_installer, ui_install,
additional-files.
Unified password related logic in installer and removed it
from image builder.
Added ks_config.txt file - documentation for ks file format.
NOTE: this commit can break ostree, as it was not tested.

Use logging facility for all logging activities in installer
to console and to the file. Do not use direct print or write
to file and do not use journald.
Extra: remove deprecated and not used files
