This switches the code to use networkx for the digraph implementation.
Note that the old implementation specifically isn't removed in this
change -- for review clarity. It will be replaced by a base class
that defines things properly to the API described below.
Plugins return a node object with three functions
get_name() : return the unique name of this node
get_nodes() : return a list of nodes for insertion into the graph.
Usually this is just "self". Some special things like partitioning
add extra nodes at this point, however.
get_edges() : return a tuple of two lists; edges_from and edges_to
As you would expect the first is a list of node names that points to
us, and the second is a list of node names we point to. Usually
this is only populated as ([self.base],[]) -- i.e. our "base" node
points to us. Some plugins, such as mounting, create links both to
and from themselves, however.
Plugins have been updated, some test cases added (error cases
specifically)

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.

Move Partition() object creation into the actual Partition object,
rather than having the logic within the Partitioning() object
Change-Id: I833ed419a0fca38181a9e2db28e5af87500d8ba4
Split Partition() into it's own file for clarity. This will be
followed-on by less dependence between Partitions and Partition
