Now that DIB is python3 only we can remove a hack that made sure
scripts outside the chroot ran with the correct version of python.
This is necessary as python3 does not resolve symbolic links to the
binary like python2.x did, which causes element scripts to fail finding
modules when DIB was run from inside a venv.
This patch does the following:
1. Reverts 9c7b8d1714 which was the
workaround for mixed python2/3 environments.
2. Updates the scripts to use "python3" instead of "python".

Some phases of diskimage-builder run outside the chroot environment,
such as the extra-data.d scripts, and don't have access to dib-python.
This means these scripts may choose the wrong python version by using
"#!/usr/bin/env python" to execute. The svc-map element is an example.
This patch creates a temporary directory and symbolic link for the
correct version of python, then manipulates the environment PATH
to preference the symbolic link "python" command.
This will allow elements with these scripts to work correctly with
the version of python diskimage-builder is running under.

When running under nodepool in a foreground, non-daemonized situation
without a tty (i.e. within a container) we're seeing this "wait" hang
indefinitely.
It is probably related to "outfilter.py" and output file descriptors,
although TBH we haven't completely root-caused it. I won't claim this
is a great solution, but it should hopefully let the dib process
finish and just die, where outfilter will disappear.

The path $TMP_BUILD_DIR/mnt becomes the / inside the chroot during
the chroot phases of diskimage-builder. Previously this path was being
created using the account running diskimage-builder. This account may
not be valid inside the chroot. This causes path validation, when running
on a Ubuntu bionic host, to fail.
This patch chown's the $TMP_BUILD_DIR/mnt to root.root to make sure
that / is owned by a valid account inside the chroot.

It looks like we dropped running these probably when we moved the
elements around. For testtools to find the test scripts we need to
add the __init__.py files to make the directories look like modules.
Also prevent copying any .pyc or cache files in as hooks.

Some minor things after looking at these parts.
The dib-run-parts element doesn't do any of the copying any more, so
these comments are wrong.
The reason for the multiple mounts in the bind mount was non-obvious
to modern eyes (as util-linux has handled this for some time).

The behavior of test -e and [[ -e against broken symlinks is to fail
even if the symlink exists. However we want to test if the link exists
or if there is a file in that location. Therefore switch from test -e to
test -L and test -f to check if the file or link exists regardless of
link target validity.

systemd-resolved has a new behaviour in bionic, in that if there is no
/etc/resolv.conf file when it installs, it assumes it is a fresh
system and makes /etc/resolf.conf a symlink into its compatability
files.
dib ends up saving & restoring whatever /etc/resolv.conf we have after
the inital chroot creation, which may not be what we want -- in the
above case it restores the system-resolved symlink. For
openstack-infra, we use unbound and want simply "127.0.0.1" in a
/etc/resolv.conf file [1].
Formalise the ability to save specific contents into the final image.
Add documentation, and a note in the code that it's an external
interface.
I would have preferred to namespace the .ORIG file with DIB_ or
similar, but this unofficial interface has already escaped into the
wild. Leave it as is for simplicity.
[1] Note that systemd-resolved will obey /etc/resolv.conf as you would
expect, if file exists.

We exit in several places and don't restore tracing. Previously in
nodepool we relied on the default fallback, which did restore the
tracing. Since we now use the MBR config file, we take the different
exit path without it and the debugging output is incomplete.

This moves the block-device default out of the "vm" element and into a
selection of other elements. There's "mbr" which retains the status
quo. There's an EFI version that has the boot/grub partitions as
required. In between there's the GPT only version, which is useful
for architectures like power without EFI, but still want possible
larger disks using GPT.

This is a continuation for f2cc647dae ("diskimage_builder: lib:
common-functions: Fix options for devpts mount"). We also need to
respect the devpts mount options when the dib elements are mounting

Commit cebfcf85f9 ("Use -t devpts for
/dev/pts mounts") switched from using '--bind' to '-t devpts' for
mounting the /dev/pts virtual filesystem. However, mounting devpts to
another location also affects the host's /dev/pts mountpoint. Since we
are now mounting devpts without options we end up with the following one
on openSUSE
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000)
instead of the one we want
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
The missing gid=5 options results to boot problems for virtual machines
So in order to fix that, we need to use the existing devpts options for
/dev/pts so we don't lose them in the new mount.

Currently a bind is used when mounting /dev/pts in chroot.
This leads to problems - especially when running DIB in parallel:
It was observed that the /dev/pts mount vanishes from the host
system.
This patch uses '-t devpts' - as it is done for /sys and /proc -
for handling /dev/pts.

Currently we only export "image-block-device" which is the loopback
device (/dev/loopX) for the underlying image. This is the device we
install grub to (from inside the chroot ...)
This is ok for x86, but is insufficient for some platforms like PPC
which have a separate boot partition. They do not want to install to
the loop device, but do things like dd special ELF files into special
boot partitions.
The first problem seems to be that in level1/partitioning.py we have a
whole bunch of different paths that either call partprobe on the loop
device, or kpartx. We have _all_part_devices_exist() that gates the
kpartx for unknown reasons. We have detach_loopback() that does not
seem to remove losetup created devices. I don't think this does
cleanup if it uses kpartx correctly. It is extremley unclear what's
going to be mapped where.
This moves to us *only* using kpartx to map the partitions of the loop
device. We will *not* call partprobe and create the /dev/loopXpN
devices and will only have the devicemapper nodes kpartx creates.
This seems to be best. Cleanup happens inside partitioning.py.
practice. Deeper thinking about this, and more cleanup of the
variables will be welcome.
This adds "image-block-devices" (note the extra "s") which exports all
the block devices with name and path. This is in a string format that
can be eval'd to an array (you can't export arrays).
This is then used in a follow-on
(I0918e8df8797d6dbabf7af618989ab7f79ee9580) to pick the right
partition on PPC.

Instead of passing in all the parameters separately this patch
collects these in a YAML file that is passed in to the block device

It was an oversight during v2 development for dib to start providing
dib-run-parts. The intention was for dib to use a vendored
dib-run-parts directly from $_LIB and have no dependencies on
dib-utils at all. By exporting dib-run-parts, we created an
unintentional conflict with the dib-utils package which provides the
same script.
Tools that depend on dib-utils are unaffected by this
(os-refresh-config).
The only tool that installs diskimage-builder and then assumes
dib-run-parts is available in the path is instack. I have proposed
Ibfe972208df40fa092b11b5419043524c903f1b4 to modify that to use our
internal version.

Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level
directory and install them into
<root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either /
or the root of a virtualenv).
The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e)
do *not* install data_files. Thus we have no canonical location to
look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a
whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a
special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python
unit tests on those elements that have it.
data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially
assets of the program. data_files install works well for things like
config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files.
By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always
know where they are relative to where we import from. In fact,
pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new
diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1].
We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we
need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the
library shell functions.
Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which
we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more.
They just get found automatically by the normal subunit loader.
I have a follow-on change (I69ca3d26fede0506a6353c077c69f735c8d84d28)
to move disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point.
Unfortunately, this has to move to work with setuptools. You'd think
a symlink under diskimage_builder/[elements|lib] would work, but it
doesn't.
[1] this API handles stuff like getting files out of .zip archive
modules, which we don't do. Essentially for us it's returning
__file__.
