stop fix_permissions falling over on dangling symlink

questing image builds are currently failing because grub2-common (which
the boot scripts download and unpack) contains a dangling symlink. this
is a problem that needs fixing in the packaging but it should not be
making all builds fail!

do not put config values into the environment

Config objects read values from the environment which makes sense but
any changes to the config are also written to the environment which then
propagates to subprocesses. This lead to absolutely hair-tearing
problems with rebuild-requests recently and also appears to be
completely unecessary: the only subprocess we run that depends on these
environment variables is debian-cd, which is already explicitly run with
an environment based on the config.

This change is obviously a bit risky in that it's hard to be completely
sure that other subprocesses we run are not affected by any environment
variables that are being set this way. But I did do an audit of
subprocess usage:

 * bin/mirror-image-build-logs: just runs hostname, which does not care
   about any value we set in config
 * bin/rebuild-requests: is where we had the recent problems
 * bin/wait-for-package: is completely useless in the modern era and
   should be deleted
 * build.py and tree.py call lockfile, which does not care about any
   value we set
 * check_installable.py calls a subprocess but is also obsolete
 * checksums.py calls sed, which does not care about any value we set
 * germinate.py calls germinate and diff, which do not care &c
 * mail.py calls mail, which does not care &c
 * mirror.py calls ssh and apt-get which do not care &c
 * osextras.py runs some extremely obscure code to read values from the
   environment into the config, which runs before setting config values
   modifies the environment, and also wget which does not care &c
 * sign.py runs gpg, and we set GNUPG_DIR which almost looks like a
   variable gpg might care about, but isn't
 * tree.py runs zsyncmake, file, date, and mktorrent, none of which care
   &c

rebuild-requests: make sure bogus CPUARCHES is not leaked to subprocesses

Constructing a config modifies the ARCHES and CPUARCHES environment
variables which we do not want to set when invoking builds, so copy the
environment before building the config.

Probably we can stop Config.__setitem__ modifying the environment. But
not in beta week.

do not always pass "main" to germinate

The code I deleted last week handled sourcing pool packages from
different components by merging all of the desired components from the
archive pool into the "main" component for a local copy and then passing
--components "main" to germinate. Pass the desired components to
germinate directly, which should fix including packages from restricted
into the pool.

Pass our known lp_build references all the way through to live_item_paths

This avoids us querying launchpad for a livefs whose identity we already
know because we had just built it. And it fixes a bug where
getLatestBuild() sometimes gets the wrong answer for the uncommon case of a
single livefs project that builds both for $arch and for $arch+$subarch.
