Calamares 2.4-rc1 release

[Teo Mrnjavac]

Hello everyone,

Calamares 2.4-rc1 is out. Please test this one thoroughly, as 2.4 is near.

Here are the changes since last week's beta3.
* Fixed an issue in the users module which could cause failed installs when
entering and then deleting a name (validation kicks in correctly now).
* Fixed Portage dependency management in the packages module (contribution by
V3n3RiX).
* Configuration defaults fixes (contribution by Philip Müller).
* Internet connection status is now written into GlobalStorage so it's
available to all modules (the key is "hasInternet").
* Added support for GeoIP in the locale module, this relies on freegeoip which
is open source, and can be used both as a service (freegeoip.net) as well as
self-hosted. Geolocation is used to pre-select the timezone (same as
Ubiquity). While this feature only performs a single HTTP GET and sends no
user data, it has potential privacy implications, so it's disabled by default.
To enable, provide a geoipUrl setting in locale.conf.
