The ironic-agent element is created using the disk-image-create utility
(even being a ramdisk) and outputs a .vmlinuz file for the kernel
(different than the ramdisk-image-create which outputs a .kernel file
for the kernel). This is inconsistent and make scripting against the
diskimage-builder more complicated if one wants to support different
types of ramdisk.
This patch creates a hard link for the .vmlinuz file to a .kernel file
at the end of the process (to keep backward compatibility) and print a
deprecation message.

Switch to using svc-map element for systemd based agent.
This allows both .deb and .rpm installs to share the
element for systemd based installs. There are not any
plans to package a .rpm package for upstart or sysv, so
these are left as is.

Closes-Bug: #1490584
This patch is reducing the size of the ramdisk image generated by the
ironic-agent element. It does remove extra packages (graphical stuff,
dev stuff, miscs, docs, etc...) and purges directories that are not
needed for a ramdisk (like /boot since it boots using an external
kernel)
Currently it was tested generating a Fedora 22 image and reduced the
size of the final image from 464 MB to 211MB compacted (54% decrease).
I was able to boot a VM with 1.3 GiB of ram instead of the previous 3 GiB
needed.

Adds support for Ubuntu and Debian to ironic-python-agent. This will
enable building ramdisk with Ubuntu and Debian as base OS.
Updated README to further clarify what the element does.
