Update Information:
The major change in this update is that fedfind now has the ability to
effectively override the productmd-formatted metadata provided by Pungi in
specific cases where it's problematic. There is a new helper function,
`helpers.correct_image`, which applies these 'corrections', and the image dicts
returned by the `Release.all_images` property - commonly used for getting a flat
list of image dicts from the compose metadata - now have these corrections
applied. This is intended to work around a [significant
issue](https://pagure.io/pungi/issue/417) that's appeared along with the
introduction of a Workstation ostree installer image for Fedora: pungi sets the
`type` for ostree installer images to `boot`, but that means there is no way to
distinguish a Workstation network install image from a Workstation ostree
install image using the metadata. This is a major problem for several things
which distinguish between images based on the metadata (openQA,
fedora_nightlies, and wikitcms are all affected by this). For now, fedfind will
'correct' the `type` for these images from `boot` to `dvd-ostree`. fedfind will
also use the `dvd-ostree` type for ostree installer images when synthesizing
metadata for Releases that do not have it. Note you can get un'corrected' image
dicts from the `Release.metadata` property, which always provides the original,
entirely unmodified metadata. There is also a new helper,
`fedfind.helpers.identify_image`, for constructing image identifiers from image
dicts; this is something various fedfind consumers do, and were duplicating the
code for, so let's let them share it. We also tweak and correct the
`expected_images` definitions somewhat (there were inconsistencies between what
fedfind was 'expecting' and what release engineering were actually intending to
provide). The relval update adjusts `relval size-check` for the `dvd-ostree`
change.
