While Debian-based distros use the label of ppc64el for ppc64 little
endian, Fedora uses ppc64le.
The ironic-agent was doing arch specific package install of lshw over
dmidecode for ppc64 and ppc64el but was attempting to install dmidecode
on Fedora ppc64le which caused the test to fail due to a missing
package.
This change just adds ppc64le to the arch-specific package installation
description for the ironic-agent element.

Closes-Bug: 1744944
There's a patch in flight in ironic-python-agent to switch the
default hardware manager to use lshw instead of dmidecode. [0]
This would require lshw to be installed regardless of
architecture. This patch removes the architecture rules from
lshw in the package-installs list.

Partial-Bug: #1715790
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__.
