Also update the year in the "Copyright" section

This task was added in snf-image v0.18

Check if the deployment task list is empty. If this is the case, a
message should be printed to the user. If we try to initialize the
dialog menu with an empty choices list, the program will crash.

Use a function to determine if a CONFIGURATION_TASK entry specifies
a task that is applicable for the current image's OS type.

An OS was characterized as unknown if the distro was unknown even though
the osfamily was not unknown.

Add the new powerbtn_action sysprep command that controls the action
made when the power button gets pressed.

Workaround the bug that libguestfs may raise a RuntimeError even if the
command runs successfully, due to the fact that the command exited with
non-zero exit status.

Initialize the output modules in the beginning. Let the output instance
print the error message if a Fatal Error occurs.

If --syslog option is passed to snf-mkimage or snf-image-creator, the
program will log its output to syslog too.

This resolves #42

This is only needed for the info method. There is no reason to pollute
the rest of the methods with this.

It is better to create warnings that RuntimeError exceptions.

Make sure to check all the file paths before opening files to collect
metadata. The metadata collecting process takes place in the beginning
and the user cannot control it. Warn if something is missing but do not
throw exceptions

By default add a 10 second boot menu timeout. The user may change
this by altering the bootmenu_timeout sysprep parameter. This works
for GRUB1, GRUB2 and syslinux.

This resolves #41

The function would raise an exception if the value was not a list

Extend the use-persistent-block-device-names sysprep to include support
for the syslinux configuration file (/boot/syslinux.cfg).

This resolves #40

Make sure that the libguestfs appliance is always launched directly
using qemu. This can be done by exporting the environment variable
LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct before importing the guestfs library.

This fixes #38

Convert all user defined metadata names to uppercase before locally
saving them to the metadata dictionary. The metadata names are case
insensitive and by converting them to uppercase we can ensure that at
any moment only one instance of them is present in the dictionary.

This fixes #39

Create a warning instead.

This resolves #36

Add a sysprep for disabling the IPv6 privacy extensions in Linux

This resolves #37
