Installing Python to a ramdisk takes quite a long time because of
the way dracut checks for dependencies of every single file
installed. We could avoid that, but then we might miss a required
library file.
This change alters the installation method to speed up
the process. First, it creates a list of files that are needed and
then installs them all at once using inst_multiple instead of calling
inst on each file separately. This doesn't make a huge difference,
but in my testing it is marginally faster.
Second, and more significantly, we don't need the *.pyo and *.pyc
files as those are simply an optimization to speed up module
loading. Because the deploy ramdisk is a short-lived operation,
we probably lose more time transferring those extra files to the
target system than we save in improved load times.
In my testing, these two changes netted about a 20% improvement
in build times, and about 13% decrease in image size.

This reverts commit 7a4c396948.
Note this time it sets it to F21, not F22, and gets rid of the
duplicate definition that doesn't get exported.

We are using which to find the location of setfiles. Our script is set
-e though, and we need to also be able to handle the case where setfiles
does not exist (like on centos-minimal).

This function was actually still in use in lib/common-functions

This patch is adds a new grub2 element that installs the
grub2 bootloader on the image so it can work with Ironic's
local boot support.
This patch also modifies the iso element which was installing
same grub2. It removes the grub2 installation from iso element
and makes it dependent on grub2 element.

By that point in the build it isn't generally useful, and it causes
confusion when builds fail because people think that's the error.

This commit adds support for providing custom kernel
cmdline args while building deploy ISO. This is useful
for adding kernel cmdline like 'console=ttyS1' in
environment (assuming all bare metals have been configured
to output to COM2 in BIOS).

Given this is often the final output, it can look like an error occured.

In the case of using portal registration with an activation key, the
rhel-common element is still executing a `subscription-manager attach`
command. This should not happen if an activation key is provided. This
is because an activation key already provides the subscriptions to
attach.
This patch fixes this behavior.

dib-run-parts filters the acceptable characters in script names,
and "." is not allowed (see $allowed_regex there), so
01-clean-old-kernels.sh is never executed.
Rename it to drop its .sh extension, so it is executed for real.

Clean all the content in the /tmp directory of the guest, leaving the
directory itself (usually has special attributes).
Modern distributions usually either setup a tmpfs on /tmp, or clean it
at every boot, so the leftovers will be just few bytes in the generated
image.
Regarding other distributions, a clean /tmp at their first boot will
surely not be a bad idea anyway.
