00da1982ce Add a more generic tree->graph parser
This moves to a more generic config parser that doesn't have plugins
parsing part of the tree.

I understand why it ended up that way; we have "partitions" key which
has special semantics compared to others keys and there was a desire
to keep it isolated from core tree->graph code.  But this isn't really
isolated; you have to reverse-engineer several module-crossing
boundaries, extras classes and repetitive recursive functions.

Ultimately, plugins should have access to the node graph, but not
participate in configuration parsing.  This way we ensure that plugins
can't invent new methods of configuration parsing.

Note: unit tests produce the same tree -> graph conversion as the old
method.  i.e. this is not intended to have a functional change.

e4e23897a1 Refactor: block-device filesystem creation, mount and fstab
This patch finalizes the block device refactoring.  It moves the three
remaining levels (filesystem creation, mount and fstab handling) into
the new python module.

Now it is possible to use any number of disk images, any number of
partitions and used them mounted to different directories.

Notes:

 * unmount_dir : modified to only unmount the subdirs mounted by
   mount_proc_sys_dev().  dib-block-device unmounts
   $TMP_MOUNT_PATH/mnt (see I85e01f3898d3c043071de5fad82307cb091a64a9)

a8953dd277 block-device: change top level config from dict to list
With the old configuration structure it was only possible
to use one image and one partition layout.  The new
block-device configuration uses a list at top level;
therefore it is possible to use multiple instances
of each element type.

ec7f56c1b2 Refactor: block-device handling (partitioning)
During the creation of a disk image (e.g. for a VM), there is the need
to create, setup, configure and afterwards detach some kind of storage
where the newly installed OS can be copied to or directly installed
in.

This patch implements partitioning handling.

9d13084c41 Add squashfs output image format
The squashfs format brings a couple of advantages over the other
formats. Image is often an order of magnitude smaller and it can
be used natively, either as an initrd, either with loop mount.

5e2330d89c Put MKFS_OPTS after filesystem type
mkfs's arguments are

 mkfs [options] [-t type] [fs-options] device [size]

So it seems our MKFS_OPTS are really supposed to be fs-options, rather
than options to mkfs itself.

Why didn't we notice?  It's quite a trap -- mkfs.ext2 has a "-t"
option, so when we're calling

 $ mkfs -i 4096 ... -t ext4 ...

We actually just fall-back to the default from the mkfs wrapper which
is mkfs.ext2 which works!  But when you make that, say, xfs, we're not
calling the right wrapper at all.

Also update documentation

d65678678e Move dib-run-parts into diskimage-builder
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.

3d48a528c1 Refactor: block-device handling (local loop)
Block device handling can be somewhat complex - especially
when taking things like md, lvm or encryption into account.

This patch factors out the creation and deletion of the local
loop image device handling into a python library.

The main propose of this patch is to implement the needed
infrastructure.  Based on this, more advanced functions can be added.
Example: (advanced) partitioning, LVM, handling different boot
scenarios (BIOS, UEFI, ...), possibility of handling multiple images
(local loop image, iSCSI, physical hard disk, ...), handling of
different filesystems for different partitions / LVs.

0c32784663 Revert "Zerofree the image if possible"
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.

5184d02a7c Zerofree the image if possible
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.
