An update that has two fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for python-kiwi fixes the following issues:

  * Fixed ramdisk sysroot generator (bsc#1254116) Do not use a custom _dev name
    and stick with the UUID representation of the disk image in RAM after
    deployment. Former versions of udev did not create a by-uuid device
    representation which now seems to have changed. This then leads to the
    device name RamDisk_rootfs not being created the and respective .device unit
    times out. In addition the timer unit for the standard device representation
    changed to infinity.
  * Delete workflows conflicting with upstream
  * Fixed spec file requires (bsc#1253637) The package requirement for binutils
    was set to TW (equal or greater than 1650) only but is also required for
    SLES16/Leap16 which is 1600 This commit fixes the condition to match with
    all required distributions
