[PATCH] pykickstart realm support

I've been working on more tight integration between realmd and
kickstart. The big use case is automatic AD domain joins by adding a
line to a kickstart file.

The line in the kickstart file looks like:

realm join domain.example.com

realm join --one-time-password domain.example.com

Attached is the first set of patches to pykickstart which implements
support for the realm command.

I'd like to see this feature make it into RHEL7. As I understand it that
would mean inclusion in Fedora 19 and backporting to RHEL 7. I'm happy
to help with that, and I don't mean to just drop this off in your guys
lap :)

So attached are two patches. One which adds support for Fedora 19 to
pykickstart. I hope I've done this right. I'm pretty new to this. The
other patch adds the realm command, and tests.

Will follow with anaconda patches, which make the implementation
clearer. The basic procedure is: a) discover realm before install and
add needed packages b) after install and configuration, join realm.

Should I file RH bugzilla bugs to track this? Happy to do this
differently if necessary.

Cheers,

Stef
