[Bug 1568889] Re: OTA and u-d-f fail if image is too big for the system partition

[Pat McGowan]

It would be preferable to do an up front check and inform settings so they can pop up a warning.
We could make an assumption on the installed size based on the compressed size, perhaps choose a worst case % so we would verify that a factor larger is available. I can try to come up with a heuristic. (or maybe we can add an API to the server to tell us?)

As this so far only happens on devices where the user explicitly enabled
r/w and installed packages I will drop the priority a bit.

Bug description:
  On Meizu MX4 upgrade from OTA-9.1 to OTA-10 fails.
  Upgrade downloads normally, phone restarts and starts system upgrade and after a while it freezes with strange icon (small microchip with red sign on it)

  When you turn off the phone and start it again it still presents itself as OTA-9.1 and again it founds and offer upgrade.
  Anyway some changes from OTA-10 seems to be applied, because I can see design changes, copy function in web browser etc.

  It's reproducible on my phone any time I try to upgrade. If I can help
  with output of some log, or anything else, please let me know.

  Well described here by Lars Kristian Wichmann Hansen:
