Currently kernel-qubes-vm is pulled in by template rpms. Since dnf
automatically remove "unneeded" packages, it would also remove
kernel-qubes-vm with the last template rpm (which isn't necessary last
template in general). To prevent this, install kernel-qubes-vm
regardless of templates.

It isn't necessary for desktop environment as is, only for system
initial configuration. For example it doesn't make sense to install them
when adding some DE later.
grubby provides the new-kernel-pkg script, which overrides the behaviour
of the kernel-install script. In addition, grubby causes the following
line
xen_rm_opts=
to become
xen_rm_opts
in the GRUB2 configuration file (/boot/grub2/grub.conf) every time
it is invoked, where the trailing equals sign ('=') is removed.
This causes a syntax error to be printed out at every boot.
The desktop-backgrounds-compat package is obsoleted by qubes-artwork,
and without this commit, the installation cannot proceed unless XFCE4 is
chosen to not be installed.
This package provides img-lib which is needed by dmsquash and the
anaconda dracut plugin. Seems to be needed in the build chroot as
well as the install iso for 'make iso' to work.

QubesOS/qubes-ossues#1018
Since livecd-tools doesn't support starting Xen in EFI mode, most of its
EFI support is rewritten here (overriden in LiveEFIImageCreator, based
on imgcreate.LiveImageCreator).
This all is still temporary solution, until Xen will have mutiboot2+EFI
support - then almost standard configuration could be used (almost the
same grub config as for legacy boot). So keep the changes here, and when
the proper solution would be implemented, pursue to having it upstream.
