unshare-pidns: fix bad varname

361. By Scott Moser on 2017-05-03

When using chroot unshare pid namespace when possible.

This adds a helper 'unshare-pidns' that invokes unshare --pid --fork
if it is available. It will not fail when it is not available though
as it is not expected to be present on trusty and precise.

The reason for this is so any unexpected children of the chroot process
will be killed allowing unmount to succeed.
See LP: #1645680 for example of such issues.

netinst: support d-i hwe kernels from rolling hwe

For LTS releases prior to xenial, the hardware enablement kernel was
specifically tied to a subsequent release. Thus, for trusty we had
d-i paths like:

 device-tree/apm-merlin.dtb
 wily-device-tree/apm-merlin.dtb
 xenial-device-tree/apm-merlin.dtb

 netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
 wily-netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
 xenial-netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux

 generic-lpae/netboot/initrd.gz
 wily-generic-lpae/netboot/initrd.gz
 xenial-generic-lpae/netboot/initrd.gz

With xenial, the hwe kernel is not specifically tied to a release, but
rather "rolls". So we have new paths that look like this:

 hwe-device-tree/apm-merlin.dtb
 hwe-netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
 hwe-generic-lpae/netboot/initrd.gz

For those the 'kernel_release' data is set to simply "hwe".

The unit test data tests/unittests/file_item_data.json is updated here
and sorted with the following:
  $ cat sort-json.py
  import json, sys
  with open(sys.argv[1], "rb") as fp:
      data = json.loads(fp.read().encode())
  with open(sys.argv[1], "wb") as fp:
      fp.write(json.dumps(data, indent=1, sort_keys=True,
                        separators=(",", ": ")).encode("utf-8") + "\n")
  $ sort-json.py tests/unittests/file_item_data.json

Install linux-firmware package on CentOS 7

Upstream doesn't include linux-firmware on CentOS 7 which is required for
certain hardware. Extra CentOS packages are now defined in the yaml file
instead of being hard coded in the source.
