Subject: [PATCH 04/21] mintUpdate.py: Improve startup, process singleton
 behavior.

- Use Gio.Application to enforce uniqueness.
- Don't re-launch when displaying updates from a notification.
- Use os.execv() to restart mintupdate after self-updates.

Fixes #997.

Subject: [PATCH 08/21] Fix flatpak errors being lost or hanging the update
 process.

- flatpak-update-worker: Don't quit before mintcommon's error dialog
  is shown. Show a dialog for errors that occur before the transaction
  is ready.
- flatpakUpdater: Reset the error before each check/update.
- Pass any flatpak check error into show_update_in_UI so the statusbar
  text can show the error.

Fixes: #1082, #1050
Ref: #1103

Subject: [PATCH 09/21] rel_upgrade_root: Import syslog (#1099)

on_removals_finished logs with syslog.syslog() when update-grub fails,
but the module never imports syslog. If update-grub is missing or
raises, the handler itself fails with NameError, so Gtk.main_quit() and
sys.exit(0) are not reached and the upgrade process never exits.

Subject: [PATCH 10/21] rel_upgrade_root: Stop the upgrade when a step fails or
 is cancelled.

The finished callback was called with any exit state, and the next
step ran regardless, so a failed or cancelled package install could
be followed by the additions, removals and update-grub. Quit with
an error status instead.

A cancelled confirmation dialog also left the script hanging, as no
cancelled callback was set.

Subject: [PATCH 11/21] mintUpdate.py: Fix infobar handling when there are
 multiple issues

Since cb43dd9e0d07ae64c only a single infobar can be shown at any
time. This causes an issue if the default mirror is in use, the user
has never dismissed it, and performs a driver/kernel update - the
'reboot needed' infobar only shows briefly during the post-update
view refresh (a few seconds), and is then replaced by the mirror
infobar.

Clear the infobar holder only once during refresh(), not before
a new infobar is added.

Subject: [PATCH 13/21] Pass the exported blacklist to mintupdate-automation on
 stdin (#1096)

* Pass the exported blacklist to mintupdate-automation on stdin

Exporting the blacklist wrote it to /tmp/mintUpdate/blacklist, then
mintupdate-automation read that path as root after pkexec authentication.
Another local user can replace the file (or plant a symlink) while the
authentication dialog is open, so root appended arbitrary lines or the
contents of any file, e.g. /etc/shadow, to world-readable
/etc/mintupdate.blacklist.

Pipe the blacklist to the helper on stdin instead.

* Remove accidentally committed .pyc file

Subject: [PATCH 16/21] Blacklist: Match the source version stored by "Ignore
 the current update" (#1112)

"Ignore the current update for this package" stores source=source_version
(since 7a79b61a), but the update list and mintupdate-cli compared that
version with a binary version. Where the two differ (epochs such as
bsdutils 1:2.39.3-9ubuntu6.6, -signed packages such as grub2-signed
1.202.5 / grub-efi-amd64-signed 1.202.5+2.12-1ubuntu7.3, binNMUs) the
update was not ignored, or only partly ignored: for util-linux only
bsdutils stayed in the list.

Move the matching rule to one is_blacklisted() helper in aptUpdater.py
that accepts the source version as well as the binary version, so
versions typed in the preferences keep working, and use it from
mintupdate-cli instead of its own copy. mintupdate-cli now checks every
package of an update and skips the whole update when one matches.

Add tests/test_blacklist.py, run with
/usr/bin/python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
