Repo config for dom0 is duplicated in sys-firewall #702

Description

@conorsch

During review and testing of #700, @eloquence observed that the pubkey munging for dom0 repos applied to sys-firewall is redundant. See related history in #330.

In order to test the behavior, let's try:

  • Branch from main
  • Remove all sys-firewall logic for handling pubkey and repo configs
  • Perform a clean install
  • Reboot host machine
  • Run GUI updater and confirm everything works well

Given that 1) we're careful to run rpm --import on the pubkey material inside dom0, and 2) the imported key material is shipped to sys-firewall via qubes-dom0-update, maintaining a separate copy of the pubkey in sys-firewall does appear to be unnecessary.

Let's revisit post 0.5.4 (#699), and honestly post key rotation (freedomofpress/securedrop#5923) to clean up.
