Kdump, Networking, SELinux, Storaged, and Software Updates are all fine
and useful for beiboot mode. Apps doesn't, but that's hidden by the
manifest condition.


Plus two fixes for the Applications page.

Aside from boosting the ws container, this is also a prerequisite for https://issues.redhat.com/browse/COCKPIT-1178.

The Applications page uses PackageKit. Hide it via a manifest condition
if it isn't available. Similar to commit 0278284 for the Software
Updates page.
Installing more apps only makes sense in the classic "installed cockpit
packages" world. But we don't want it in a beiboot session, as
installing any cockpit-* extension would install cockpit-bridge as a
dependency, and that then completely changes the session experience --
up to the point that we don't even install cockpit-system for the
Overview.

Since we dropped the cockpit-pcp on-demand install from the metrics
page, this was the last page that installed cockpit-* packages. This
is a prerequisite for enabling beiboot mode for distro packages
(although not sufficient yet), and adding more packages to the
cockpit/ws container.

This cannot currently be integration-tested: We don't yet support
beibooting for the rpms/debs, and Fedora CoreOS + ws container doesn't
have PackageKit.
