libostree v2018.1



https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/releases/tag/v2018.1

One of the most notable things in this release is patches
from Gatis Paeglis and William Manley to fix up libostree's
support for systems without an initramfs (prominent in the
embedded/appliance case).

Just as a side note: On the flip side some initial testing of a Fedora Atomic
Host (which uses libostree) was done on an IBM S390x system - real mainframe
hardware. Just like the Linux kernel and systemd, the vision for libostree is to
span a wide range of use cases like this.

Related to this, build patches were contributed by Anton Gerasimov and Marcus
Folkesson - per the above we try to keep our feature set
configurable.

Next I want to note a major new feature landed in this
release that we will be using in rpm-ostree; `--copyup` support
for `rofiles-fuse`: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1382
For a long time we were trying to change the Fedora RPM package
scripts to be "pure rofiles" compatible, but I finally decided
to punt on that due to glibc.  I suspect other people maintaining
build systems may be in a similar situation.

Also, I landed a series of hardening patches against path
traversal; as I say in the PR set, since we've checked this
in the HTTP code since the start I think we're generally safe:
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1412

There are a variety of other changes here; see
the linked PRs below for more information.

Thanks a lot to all contributors!
