[Server-devel] Early F11 XS build

In between various complications, I have been working on getting an
initial rebase of the XS packages and build infra to F11.
After much wrangling with revisor, comps and image-creator, I have an
initial installer iso and an image that boots on the XO-1. The XO
image tests reasonably well, I haven't had chance to play much with
the installer iso (but the image is built from it).
All of the above owes a lot to hints from Jerry Vonau - thanks!
You will find the files on http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/other/ in
about... 6hs -- the name says "0.7" which is misleading, so I will rm
them once I have better ones. But in case you want something to play
with :-)
Notes:
- The XO image is using the old XO kernel --
-- I could not include the new kernel from dillinger's repo due to
a conflict with kernel-firmware, even if say "-kernel-firmware" in the
ks.
-- the vanilla F11 kernels fail to boot on the XO -- expected?
- The build is slimmer (without a need to slim-it-down manually)
because upstream now avoid including some if the boot images in the
main iso.
- However, that means that making a bootable usb is harder for users.
- Dependency chains are slimmer... but some are still bizarre. Bits
of kde and gnome are there.
