Guard against removing a hold while the package manager is busy.
Test:
1. Place hold on freedombox package.
2. Wait 3 minutes in development mode.
- Package is held.
3. Touch /var/lib/freedombox/package-held.
4. Wait 3 minutes in development mode.
- Package is not held.
- Flag is removed.

- Also add ability restore missing configuration files during reinstall.
- Reinstall is useful for restoring the original configuration files of the
package.

Run `apt-get --fix-broken install` before installing package or manual
update. This will attempt to correct broken dependencies.
Tests:
- Install a package without its dependencies using `dpkg -i`.
- Both app install and manual update successfully recover from this
situation.

In case the package to be installed (or its dependencies) conflicts
with freedombox (or its dependencies), this will fail the installation
rather than removing the freedombox package.

This includes list of packages for which conffile prompts will be shown. For
each package current version of the package, new version of the package and list
of configuration files that were modified.

Given a list of packages, check with among those will result in showing a
configuration file prompt.
Irrespective of whether apt shows a conffile prompt, this logic mimics what
unattended-upgrades perceives as package needing a conffile prompt. This is
because when unattended-upgrades gives up, that is when this logic need to take
over.

This is optional and does not affect normal installations. However, when
performing configuration migration in FreedomBox (due to unattended-upgrades
refusing it), it is useful as a part of strategy to read configuration, force
install new configuration files and apply configuration again. This option can
be used on such cases.

Show a warning message that a package manager is running. This prevents users
from getting an installation error just because another installation/upgrade is
running.
Closes: #625.
- Use action helper so that Plinth can run unprivilaged and action
script can run as root.
- Use Status-Fd feature of apt-get to report progress. Don't report
much detail.
- Capture all stderr of the apt-get process and present it only in case
of failure.
- Remove package installation using PackageKit. Remove dependency on
PackageKit.
- Merge --setup package installation with regular package installation.
This should fix the following problems:
- PackageKit throws errors when APT encounters an error and later
corrects them and proceeds well. This is reported upstream but not
fixed.
- PackageKit does not install recommends by default and there is no easy
way to tell it to do so.
- In some rare cases, PackageKit could get stuck for interactive input
even though interactive flag is set to false.
- PackageKit does not work without network manager connections. (Could
have been mitigated by altering packagekit configuration).
- PackageKit glib library leaks file descriptors after each operation.
This leads to running out of fds during long running refresh
operations such as OpenVPN setup. (This should have subsided by not
checking package install with the new setup mechanism.)]
Known issues:
- In development mode, inside action scripts the python modules are
always loaded from system path and not development directory.
- With PackageKit it is possible to run multiple operations
simultaneously. Others would wait while the first is being
installed. With new implementation, the others error out unable to
obtain lock.
