39fb794ebc Allow debootstrap to cleanup without a kernel
Currently there's more-or-less an assumption that a kernel is
installed, so module blacklists are simply echoed into the modprobe
blacklist.  This may not be the case with some ongoing container work.

Although we don't need to blacklist modules for containers, it also
doesn't hurt.  Move the debootstrap element to the new modprobe
element, and allow it to create the blacklist directory.

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)

97c01e48ed Move elements & lib relative to diskimage_builder package
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__.
