The current check only validates that an element that specifies
"element-provides" doesn't conflict with a "real" element. We also
want to check this against the provides of other elements.
A real example is with a "block-device" element. There is no actual
"block-device" element; we can have multiple elements provide it
(block-device-[gpt,mbr,efi], say) but we only want one of them at a
time.
Update the unit test for this.

As described in pep282 [1], the variable part of a log message
should be passed in via parameter. In this case the parameters
are evaluated only when they need to be.
This patch fixes (unifies) this for DIB.
A check using pylint was added that this kind of passing parameters to
the logging subsystem is enforced in future. As a blueprint a similar
(stripped-down) approach from cinder [2] was used.

Currently there is no description of dependencies in the generated
documentation of the elements: therefore a user of an element does not
know which other elements are automatically included and e.g. which
configuration options are available. In addition there are some
copy&pastes of parts of the README.rst scattered thought different
Ubuntu and Debian specific elements.
This patch adds a semi-automatic generation of dependency information
of all elements. Nevertheless these are not automatically included.
The author of the element's README.rst can decide if and where the
dependency information should appear and can use the descriptor
.. element_deps::
for this.
This patch adds the dependency information for some Debian and
Ubuntu patches - and creates the base for later removing the
duplicated parts.
A call is added to element_dependencies._find_all_elements() to
populate reverse dependencies for Element objects.

When merging feature/v2 we have re-enabled the centos-minimal test
which has a blank line in the element-deps. The modified get_elements
functions added in If97bcd21e45de1b5ed91023fdc441a4617051a6b were not
handling this.
Fixing this, we can extract this into some common code for
element-deps and element-provides.
Also, I noticed while debugging that the element list is an iterator
from reverse(), so printing it doesn't help. Fix up the debug output.

expand_dependencies() was a public interface so we should try and
preserve backwards compat. However, since the interface is really
broken, add a new exported function "get_elements" that instack can
switch to. This returns the canonical list of elements without
duplicates, and gives the path to each element too.
This highlighted that the unit tests were really a bit wrong. They're
testing inner functions when we have an "API" in the get_elements()
function. Convert all unit-tests to use this function instead. Since
this is a library call, convert the sys.exit() calls to raised
exceptions.
Refactor the variable output into a separate function so we can do a
sanity check on it.
The added flake8 ignores are for the "over-indented for ... indent"
which happens a lot with these new longer lines. Most other projects
ignore them.
This is an alternative proposal to

Move element-info from a wrapper script to a standard entry-point
console_script.
Update the documentation to explain how to run it for development. I
don't think we should support the idea that you can check-out the code
and run ./bin/disk-image-create -- it has dependencies (dib-utils,
etc) and needs to be run from a virtualenv (this is what CI in the
gate does). A follow-up can clean-up some of the path munging stuff
we have for this in disk-image-create.

These new variables are a list of elements chosen for the build along
with their full paths. For Python elements, IMAGE_ELEMENT_YAML is a
YAML formatted list that can be easily parsed. For bash elements,
"get_image_element_array" will produce an associative-array of the
same (working around lack of array export in Bash).
This list is intended for consumption of elements who need to copy
files from other elements, such as pkg-map and svc-map. As discussed
in I2a29861c67de2d25c595cb35d850e92807d26ac6, this list has already
been pruned and had overrides processed, so it is safe to simply walk
over this list with no further processing.
Since we're presenting the element list in a couple of different ways,
we combine it all into the element-info script. It will output an
eval-able string that declares the appropriate variables.
I've added some inline documentation so they still appear in grep.
The documentation is updated with examples, and moved to a more
appropriate location as a sub-section of the element sytle guide.
To test this out, use the associative-array in generate_hooks, where
we can now find the element's directory without searching.

This is a re-factor of element_dependencies to achieve two things --
centralising override policy and storing path names.
Firstly we want to make the override policy for elements completely
explicit. Currently, elements that wish to copy parts of other
elements walk ELEMENTS_PATH themselves and look for elements in
IMAGE_ELEMENT. How they handle duplicate elements can differ, leading
to inconsistent behaviour.
We introduce logic in element-info to find elements in each of the
directories in ELEMENT_PATHS in *reverse* order -- that is to say,
earlier entries in the paths will overwrite later ones.
For example
ELEMENT_PATHS=foo:bar:baz
will mean that "foo/element" will override "baz/element", since "foo"
is first. This should be sane to anyone familiar with $PATH.
Documentation is clarified around this point and a test-case is added.
The second thing is that we want to keep the complete path of the
elements we have chosen. We want the aforementioned elements that
walk the element list to use these canonical paths to pickup files;
this way they don't need to make local decisions about element
overrides, but can simply iterate a list and copy/merge files if they
exist.
A follow-on change (I7092e1845942f249175933d67ab121188f3511fd) will
expose this data in a separate variable that can be parsed by elements
(a further follow-on I0a64b45e9f2cfa28e84b2859d76b065a6c4590f0
modifies the elements to use this information). Thus this does not
change the status-quo -- elements that are walking ELEMENTS_PATH
themselves and can/will continue doing that.

I got quite confused what this was trying to tell me at first. It's
saying that you requested an element but another element already
provides that element, so we don't know which one to choose.
To help clarify the situation to the user, keep track of what is
providing elements so we can describe where the conflict came from.

Use standard logging module for output. Add some basic testing of

setup the logging for interactive use.

Deprecated the `--expand-dependencies` flag from `element-info` usage.
The flag was required and not optional. We can rely on argparse to exit non-0
when the required positional argument is not provided.

The phrase is no longer needed as of August 23, 2000 with Nicaragua's
joining of the Berne Convention.
Additionally, in at least one instance,
elements/cache-url/bin/cache-url, its existence in the file between
Copyright lines is just weird and feels misleading, even though it is
not.
Remove all of the lines, because sanity.

To ensure that we have the list of provided elements from the
command line before looking up dependencies, use a deque and
popleft() to take the elements on a first-in/first-out basis.

An element can define a list of elements provided by itself. This allows
using an alternative element and keeping element dependencies at the
same time. This will be needed for example for mariadb element which will be
an alternative to mysql element - mysql dependency can be kept everywhere
but user can choose mariadb explicitly as a replacement by putting "mysql"
into "element-provides" file.

This commit refactors the python code in diskimage_builder slightly. This is
in preparation for a larger review that adds more functionality to the python
code, namely the ability to apply elements to the current system as opposed to
a chroot. Further, the refactorings can stand on their own for better clarity.
They include:
- renaming elements.py to element_dependencies.py. Adds clarity about the
purpose of this module.
- updating other code for this rename.
- move tests into a tests submodule.
