Move several parts of the "install_test_deps.sh" script into the more
standard bindep.txt. This list is intentionally restricted as a first
step.
Developer documentation is updated to use bindep and clarified
slightly.

Testing on a ubuntu cloud image, the build is not possible
because it is missing the kpartx dependency. Adding that
as a requirement, when producing images with partitions.

Move dib-run-parts from dib-utils into diskimage-builder directly.
For calling outside the chroot, we provide a standard entry-point
script. However, as noted in the warning comment, the underlying
script is still copied directly into the chroot by the dib-run-parts
element. I believe this to be the KISS approach.
This removes the dependency on dib-utils. We have discussed this
previously and nobody seemed to think retiring dib-utils was going to
be an issue.
This also updates the documentation to not mention dib-utils, or using
disk-image-create via $PATH setup, but rather gives instructions on
installing from pip with a virtualenv.

This reverts commit 5184d02a7c.
The decision was made to go with fstrim because it is faster and more
universal that zerofree. The related-id has the patchset that implements
fstrim.

If the image has an ext filesystem and the zerofree utility is present
on the build system then run zerofree. This should make images as
compressable as possible which is a nice feature when building
compressed qcow2 images.

speedup section explains the user how to sppedup image build by using
tmpfs. The correct user guide to have this section, is the user guide
about image building rather than the installation user guide.

Our docs are very developer focused. Lets create a separate user guide
to help new users get started.
