8d1ce9c0c3 Build ramdisks in an image chroot.
Ramdisks are now built inside a chroot which is built by the normal
image build process. Doing so improves our independence of the
precise state of the build host.

This fixes bug 1194055.

04bfd491ad Add mechanism to send error messages to helper.
Adds a new err_msg function which is used to:

-echo feedback to the deploy ramdisk console
-keep track of the first error message we hit so
 that we can send it along to the baremetal-deploy-helper.

Also, updates our wget request back to baremetal-deploy-helper
to include the first the first error message (if any) as
the 'e' parameter.

The err_msg uses a new simple safe_url_encode function to ensure
we don't send invalid characters in our HTTP post requests.

0ff82aff46 Make bash troubleshooting configurable
Adds a new 'troubleshooting' function which encapsulates
the things we might want to do when something bad happens.
Typically this is echo'ing a simple message and launching a
bash shell.

The new troubleshooting function also makes use of a new
'troubleshoot' kernel param which if specific will allow you to
hang the deployment process and interactively debug the deploy_ramdisk
via a bash shell on a console.

Troubleshoot is disabled by default.

Fixes LP Bug #1191043.

9fe9afb159 deploy element: Call find_disk in loop w/ timeout.
Updates our deploy element's init script so that it calls
find_disk in a loop until it returns true (meaning we have a disk).

Previously on some bare metal machines find_disk would return ""
which causes the subsequent iscsi target commands to fail due to
a bad backing store.

This commit also updates the error message when start_iscsi_target
fails to be a bit more accurate as well.

Fixes LP Bug #1190984.

1eff4a436e Rename flavour to element.
Flavour is overloaded in openstack due to it being used by nova. Element
seems to have the same feeling of combinability without using a term already
in active use in the openstack community.
