If GRUB2 is not available in the system a fallback to install Extlinux
will happen. This patch also allows you to enforce the use of Extlinux
exporting the DIB_EXTLINUX variable.

devstack-gate needs to be able to make an image that has pre-downloaded
but not installed a sequence of packages. To support that, add a -d flag
to install-packages to allow downloading but not installing. -d passes
through on a dpkg install, and with this patch should be transformed
to --downloadonly which is the yum version.

On fedora 18 the package pyOpenSSL is conflicting with one of the
packages needed to build the bootstack image. The problem gets sorted
if you install pyOpenSSL at the beginning of the image building process
and this is what this patch is doing.

Qemu-nbd does not perform well with older versions of qemu due to
the lack of writeback caching mode. It also only builds qcow2 images
and there is a desire for raw image support. Finally, qemu-nbd makes
it very difficult to build images concurrently due to the somewhat
opaque nature of how it selects a /dev/nbd# device. losetup, on
the other hand, makes this process very straight forward.

ARM doesn't have a generic Linux image due to the soc-specific nature of Linux
kernels today, so we drop the manual installation of that package, replacing it
with a dist-upgrade instead. This involved tweaks to the dpkg and fedora
install-package scripts.
