CHANGES WITH 16:

• Support for ignition: a new org.osbuild.ignition stage has been
  added together with a new option in the org.osbuild.grub2 stage,
  called ignition. When used together, a new variable for the
  kernel command line, called $ignition_firstboot, will exist that
  will trigger the run of ignition on the first boot of an image.

• A new org.osbuild.copy stage was added that can be used to copy
  files and directories from an archive to the file system tree. The
  archive will be fetched via the existing org.osbuild.files source.

• The result of the assembler will now not automatically be committed
  to the store anymore, but only when requested via --checkpoint;
  very much like it is already the case for the stages.

• The tree_id and output_id identifiers have been dropped from the
  osbuild result. This reflects the policy that the internals of the
  store are private. The --output-directory command line option can
  be used to obtain the final artifact instead.

• The org.osbuild.files and org.osbuild.ostree sources have been
  properly documented and the JSON schema for their options was added.
  osbuild gained support for the validation of the source options in
  the manifest. As a result the whole manifest is now validated.

• The GPG signature verification of RPMs in the org.osbuild.rpm stage
  is now optional and opt-in. The GPG key can now also be provided per
  package.

• The org.osbuild.ostree gained support for pre-populating /var
  like it is done by anaconda.
  Also its rootfs option is not required anymore, since in specific
  cases, like when ignition is being used, the root file system is
  identified by its label only.

• The common term for Stages, Assemblers and Sources shall from now on
  be "module". Rename the StageInfo class to ModuleInfo.

• Small bug fixes, including to the org.osbuild.users stage, that now
  allows the creation of users with uid/gids that are 0 and
  descriptions and passwords that are empty. The org.osbuild.files
  source got a bug fix to allow the use of URL format but without
  specifying the secrets key.

• Numerous small fixes throughout the source code to fix all pylint
  warnings. These are now also enabled for the source checks.

• Lots of improvements to the test infrastructure and the CI.
