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.

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__.
