Commit a19679fec reverted the first attempt to make AsyncSSH reuse
one connection during an instance lifetime. That failed because a lot
of distribution-specific properties were filled in a new event loop
thread started by AsyncRunner, and AsyncSSH didn't like that.
This commit is the first part of the solution: Move those properties
from the App class to the Distro class, and load the Distro class
in an async loader. As soon as it's instantiated, it can provide all
its properties without cluttering the code with async keywords.

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.

Passing --only-update should keep "jw-pkg.py distro install" from
installing packages that are not already installed on the the system.
