This reverts commit 1f4fb1d7a5.
This unfortunately wasn't actually tested. Because the image-based
tests run sequentially, a prior failure in the centos-8 job meant the
ubuntu job never ran.
This is failing with
10-cache-ubuntu-tarball: line 28: DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE: unbound variable
There is also a seemingly unused variable DIB_IMAGE_LOCAL_FILE; I'm
not sure what this is doing.
For now revert, and it can be re-proposed with appropriate testing.

Patch allow to set path for local image source,
instead download latest or use the cached image.
This permit to build image also in environment without internet access.

The ubuntu, and ubuntu-minimal elements both make use of a common set
of environment settings to determine the distribution name.
The ubuntu-minimal element also does a few extra things which would
appear to apply to both sets and bring in extra architecture support.
As such, these are included in the common element.
This intends to be part of a series of patches which will eventually
create a new element to build a minimal ubuntu-systemd-container
element which can be used for lxc/nspawn containers.

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__.
