The code path for setting the locale / language automatically
emits currentLanguageStatusChanged(), but the code that updates
GS connects to currentLanguageCodeChaged(). This was altered in
the 3.2.28 release cycle. Since then, automcatic locale selection
wasn't setting *locale* in GS, so that a click-through kind of
locale selection would not set it; then the packages module
has no *locale* setting for localization packages.
The combination of status and code signals (machine- and human-
readable) is ok. Introduce a setter to the language that does
the necessary signalling, so that setting the language automatically
also DTRT.

- Move variables closer to where they are needed
- Do the winnowing / selection always, but in unsafe mode return
the un-winnowed list of devices
- Massage build documentation a little
When loading the lists, no initial string-value was being
set for the model, layout and variant; the configuration
could pass right through and pick up empty strings instead.
If the user does not change the model, the UI would show
"pc105" but the internal setting would still be empty.
FIXES#1668
The machinery in `setConfigurationMap()` was just duplicating
checks already in place in the `getString()` and `getBool()`
methods, and there's no special need for efficiency here,
so prefer the more readable and short code.
("efficiency" here means "we're saving one method call in
case the configuration is not set")
- Get a signature on CHANGES at the start, so that the key
is cached by gpg; that way the tag-signing has the key, and
will not time-out (which breaks tarball generation, and
means that I need to **watch** the release script, rather
than fire-and-forget).
In 4ffa79d4cf, the spelling
was changed to consistently be "autoLoginUser" in the *users*
module, but that changed the Global Storage key as well,
and the *displaymanager* module wasn't changed to follow.
You'll need a VM with 2 disks to demonstrate:
- Configure Calamares to pick "none" as initial action on
the partition page (this is a safe choice),
- Enter partition page,
- No action is selected, and the next> button is greyed out.
- Click erase; notice next> is now available.
- Change devices, notice no action is selected, but next>
is still available. Clicking on it, though, does nothing.
When changing to "no action", update the next-button's
availability.
