The --statedir-cache flag specifies a secondary statedir that will be
checked before downloading files over the network.
The primary reason to use the statedir-cache is to enable the os-install
command to take advantage of hardlinks when installing content across
partitions. In this case, update content stored in the statedir-cache
(source partition) will be copied to the statedir (target partition) before
installing content into the target partition. Since the update content
will exist on the target partition before installation, hardlinks can be
used instead of copies.

If --update-search-file-index flag is used on update, all search-file indexes, i.e.
all Manifests will be downloaded on update. This shouldn't be used if you have
disk or network restrictions, but it shouldn't be very download intensive after the
first usage because delta manifests are going to be used.

When the --download flag is set for the os-install command, update
content will be downloaded to the statedir and no content will be
installed.

Since --picky was made a superset of diagnose/repair, there is the need
of a new flag that only finds/repairs the extra files that are not in
any manifest.
Many things were included in this commit:
- This commit adds the new flag --extra-files-only for this purpose.
- The commit also refactors the verify function to simplify its workflow
and remove code duplication
- It also adds some validations for flags that are mutually exclusive in
verify/diagnose/repair
- Updates the documentation

When running tasks that require to run post update scripts in swupd,
for most users we don't want to wait for the scripts to finish running,
those can be run in the background so we can finish the task faster.
However for some users like DevOps, clr-installer, and QA, it is useful
to have a way to instruct swupd to wait until these scripts have finish
running.
This commit adds a way of doing this by introducing the
--wait-for-scripts flag.
Closes#909

swupd has many flags that can be used for fine tunning its
functionality. In some cases users may want to include a flag with every
swupd command they run.
This commit gives the ability to provide swupd flags via options in a
configuration file that swupd will read before running the command.
The configuration file is an INI style file tha can include sections
so users can specify options that should only apply to a specific
command. The biggest advantage of this is to be able to fine tune the
flags that should apply for each command.
For example a user could set a global flag that would apply to every
swupd command, and then turn that flag off for a specific command by
unsetting it in the command's section.
