lib/repo-pull: Disable LAN updates by default
This commit disables searching on the local network for refs, unless
explicitly requested by the user either by changing the value of the
"core.repo-finders" config option, or by passing an OstreeRepoFinderAvahi to
ostree_repo_find_remotes_async() / ostree_repo_finder_resolve_async(),
or by specifying "lan" in the --finders option of the find-remotes
command.
The primary reason for this is that ostree_repo_find_remotes_async()
takes about 40% longer to complete with the LAN finder enabled, and that
API is used widely (e.g. in every flatpak operation). It's also probable
that some users don't want ostree doing potentially unexpected traffic
on the local network, even though everything pulled from a peer is GPG
verified.
Flathub will soon deploy collection IDs to everyone[1] so these code
paths will soon see a lot more use and that's why this change is being
made now.
Endless is the only potential user of the LAN updates feature, and we
can revert this patch on our fork of ostree. For it to be used outside
Endless OS we will need to upstream eos-updater-avahi and
eos-update-server into ostree.
