libostree v2018.3



https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/releases/tag/v2018.3

Keeping up with our ~monthly cadence. A variety of contributors here again, it's
great to see!  There's two notable features, and a variety of non-critical bugfixes.

On the features side we have:

 - `sysroot: Add concept of deployment "pinning" 📌` (#1464)
 - `ostree: introduce PAYLOAD_LINK object type` (#1443)

(EDIT: Also `lib/fetcher: Allow clients to append to User-Agent` (#1496))

By default libostree prunes older deployments; the pinning feature allows you to
explicitly retain them until unpinned.  This is useful for major version updates.

The `PAYLOAD_LINK` functionality allows libostree to do content-based
deduplication. Previously, if e.g. a file changes in metadata (mode, owner,
xattrs such as SELinux labels), we can't make a plain Unix hardlink, and hence
by default end up with a new copy on disk. However, the Linux kernel has
standardized "reflinks" and some filesystems support them, including modern
versions of XFS. When reflinks are available, this functionality causes
libostree to compute a content-only payload, and when importing an object, if it
matches in content with an existing object, to use reflinks to deduplicate, while
using different inodes.

Finally, the HTTP User-Agent API is intended for higher level tools linking to libostree where one wants to 
expose the app version as well.

Beyond that, as mentioned above we have a variety of non-critical fixes such
as memory leaks, test suite improvements, correctly printing the "would be pruned"
size when using `prune --no-prune`, etc.

Thanks to all contributors!
