824de4eca4 lib.distros.*.Distro: Align PM prototypes
Make all backend package manager prototypes have the same arguments:

	yum(self, args: list[str], verbose: bool=True, sudo: bool=True)

This also implies having them behave equally verbose, unless
otherwise specified by the caller. This changes the default for
Debian.

525fa34387 lib.pm: Add parameter ec: ExecContext to functions
Functions in lib.pm (i.e. run_dpkg(), run_rpm() and friends) also get
an ExecContext-type parameter. Use them in lib/distros/*/Distro.

3e897f4df8 lib.Distro, ExecContext: Add classes, refactor lib.distro
The code below lib.distro, as left behind by the previous commit, is
geared towards being directly used as a command-line API. This commit
introduces the abstract base class Distro, a proxy for
distribution-specific interactions. The proxy abstracts distro
specifics into an API with proper method prototypes, not
argparse.Namespace contents, and can thus be more easily driven by
arbitrary code.

The Distro class is initialized with a member variable of type
ExecContext, another new class introduced by this commit. It is
designed to abstract the communication channel to the distribution
instance.  Currently only one specialization exists, Local, which
interacts with the distribution and root file system it is running
in, but is planned to be subclassed to support interaction via SSH,
serial, chroot, or chains thereof.
