- deleteLater() doesn't like nullptr (produces a warning, but is harmless)
- reparenting across threads doesn't work, comment on that but leave
it in, since this may be relevant for memory management.
- both NetInstall (group data) and Locale (GeoIP) use network
data returned as a source of YAML data. Try to explain
parsing errors for both.
FIXES#786
When NetInstall receives YAML data, handle parser errors more gracefully:
show line and column, but because it's network data (not in a local file),
do some work to print out the actual data received.

If the summary widget is large, it gets a scrollbar. This looks really
weird, so prefer to grow the installer window instead. Discussed with
@sitter and settled on this solution.
ViewSteps can signal the ViewManager that they need more space (in pixels),
which may or may not be honored.
FIXES#778
This was WIP, working on the fstab / UUID problem, but stands on its
own; since others are zooming in on the fstab / UUID problem, close
down the branch.
- Check for 'list' when it's actually a 'dict' is strange.
Reverse logic to consider 'str' a package name and everything
else is special.
- Refactor to handle the difference between package names and
packages-with-script-data in one place.
- Add code and config documentation.
- Switch sample configurations to dummy-backend.
When testing Python modules, passing option --lang should also
set the global 'locale' (to a BCP47 string, but hey) like it
already sets localeConf.LANG.
- For Boot and Device info widgets, add a retranslateUi() method,
since the labels change not only in response to translation
events but also UI events.
FIXES#779
- Add a target 'example-distro' which must be manually invoked
This creates an example.sqfs with a minimal binary distro
based on the build hosts's /bin and /lib.
The purpose is to provide a simple test image which the
default configuration of the unpackfs module can use to
create a system within which the *other* steps of the
installation can run.
Example files are some zoneinfo's (remember to choose an
existing zone when using the example distro), groups and
sudoers files, etc ..
The example distro has a special /xbin which contains bogus
binaries for many system-administration tasks (e.g. useradd
which would otherwise come from /usr/sbin).
