WIP: Better media detection/suggestion for Express Installation

Fabiano Fidêncio requested to merge ffidencio/gnome-boxes:wip/better_media_detection into master

This work depends on not yet reviewed code for libosinfo* ** and changes that are about to come on osinfo-db.

*: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2019-February/msg00028.html **: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2019-February/msg00031.html

The whole idea is to:

  • Add the installer scripts under the medias of an OS (in osinfo-db)
  • Check for the info from the medias, if the info is present;
  • Check for the info from the OSes, if the info is present;

With that we can ensure Boxes only shows "Express Install" options for medias which actually support Express Installations for the Desktop profile.

This MR will keep being updated till the work on libosinfo is done, merged and released.
