CHANGES WITH 31:

• LVM2 support was added. For this new stages and host services
  were added:

• Support for parent devices was added to the devices host
  service: a device can now specify a device it depends on. An
  example is an LVM2 volume on a partition. When loading, the
  devices are pre-sorted so that all dependencies are in the
  correct order.

• stages/org.osbuild.lvm2.create: new stage to create logical
  volumes, the volume group and the physical volume in one
  operation.

• devices/org.osbuild.lvm2.lv: new device host service to activate
  a LVM2 logical volume. The logical volume is identified via the
  underlying device, so there is no need to know the logical
  volume's name or uuid.

• stages/org.osbuild.lvm2.metadata: new stage to modify LVM2
  metadata.

• stages/org.osbuild.untar: new stage that can be used to extract
  a tarball.

• runners/org.osbuild.rhel86: new runner for RHEL 8.6, based on
  the current RHEL 8.2 runner.

• stages/org.osbuild.nm.conf: new stage to create NetworkManager
  configuration files. Currently only a subset of settings are
  supported.

• inputs/org.osbuild.ostree.checkout: new input to checkout an
  OSTree commit so that stages can use its contents.

• stages/org.osbuild.ostree.passwd new stage to merge the groups
  and passwords from one or more existing commits into the
  corresponding files in the tree. This is needed to make sure that
  uids/gids stay stable between commits.

• stages/org.osbuild.grub2.inst: fix prefix for dos layouts: When
  the partition layout is dos or mbr, the correct name for it in
  the prefix is msdos.

• Loop controller improvements: various new helper methods to close
  and flush the loop devices.

• devices/org.osbuild.loopback: explicitly flush the device buffer
  cache and clear the fd to ensure that all data is properly written
  to the backing file.
