We don't export DIB_RELEASE in the base distro scripts, so many
times it will be an unset variable in 51-bootloader from the vm
element. Currently that script doesn't handle the situation
properly and we get errors like:
line 160: [: =: unary operator expected
This change quotes the references to DIB_RELEASE so that won't
happen anymore.

Patch adds support to create PowerPC image with vm element.
It creates 2 partitions, one for PReP boot and other for root and
installs grub-ieee1275.

Using lsb_release to figure out what distro and release an image is
is redundant, as the same information is available in DIB_ vars.
Further, it causes errors when creating new rhel7/centos7 images
like this: http://paste.openstack.org/show/144729/

Per [1], our current root label of cloudimg-root does not work with
XFS because XFS only allows 12 character labels. This change
addresses that by allowing a custom rootfs label to be specified
in the call to disk-image-create. There should be no backwards
compatibility concerns as the default label is unchanged. Any
external elements dealing with the label would need to be updated
to support this new feature, but should continue to work as before
as long as a custom label is not specified.

While building images in a dual boot host,
/dev/sda is leaking into build's grub config.
It is visible in the logs that the commands
GRUB-INSTALL and GRUB-MKCONFIG probes Host OS environment.
This is avoided by setting grub_disable_os_prober
to true in /default/grub config file.

The previous method only configured serial console for Ubuntu or
Fedora, I noticed this wasn't working when I built RedHat 7.
After reading about how grub-mkconfig works, I realized that we
shouldn't be using sed to modify grub.cfg, and set up the proper
variables in /etc/default/grub

Some extlinux packages install mbr.bin under /usr/lib/extlinux or
/usr/lib/EXTLINUX so tese directories need to be checked as well.
Also, there are packages that create a /boot/extlinux directory
which needs to be taken into account. Finally, commit
bccffc8bfd dropped the /boot prefix
from the kernel and initrd references in the ext/syslinux config
file which is simply a bug that needs fixing.

Initial support for a centos7 image.
This is separate to rhel7 because the major differences are things
like repo and image locations, which are always going to be different.
We should merge any real changes into the redhat-common layers.
Apart from the added support files in centos7/*, the other change is
mostly modifications to redhat-common's extract-image to handle
different partition layouts of the centos7 image.

Debian based distros do not enable the serial console by default
in grub.cfg, instead sending all boot messages to the display

The script to find best kernel from image (used by vm
and baremetal element) is duplicated and is not in sync
with each other. Moving the code to img-functions as a
function will reduce duplicated code and make it reusable
in future.
Since img-functions is not accessible in chroot env,
kernel selection is being moved from finalise.d to
cleanup.d in the vm element.

As with the previous similar changes, this is intended to catch
problems as they happen instead of ignoring them and continuing on
to potentially fail later. Setting this on all existing scripts
will allow us to enforce use via Jenkins.

The grub install scripts on Fedora have hardcoded checks for
/sys/firmware/efi and if the directory exists, it uses efi
specific instruction like initrdefi, linuxefi etc. vm element
should fix it once the configuration is generated.

Extlinux bootloader configuration in "vm" element requires vmlinuz and
initrd.img files in /boot/ with "generic" suffix. When these don't exist,
bootloader configuration should fall back to using whatever does exist.

If creating an image of a disto without grub2 extlinux is instead used,
extlinux was being configured to mount the root filesystem as
read/write which in turn causes e2fsck to fail to test the filesystem,
on RHEL 6.5 this causes the boot process to fail.

52-force-text-mode-console, running after 51-bootloader, calls
grub2-mkconfig (on Ubuntu that will happen via the update-grub call).
This call will overwrite all the changes that 51-bootloader did to the
grub.cfg. By merging the 52-force-text-mode-console code into
51-bootloader we avoid that. This also means that 51-bootloader will now
call grub2-mkconfig regardless of whether there is already and existing
grub2 configuration or not (52-force-text-mode-console did that in the
past anyway).
Additionally this commit enables the force to textmode code for openSUSE
(was previously only working correctly for Ubuntu and Fedora).

When uninstalling grub2, leave all its dependencies
including grub2-tools installed to minimise the number of packages
which need to be installed in the finalise stage.
Since the yum cache is unmounted during finalise, installing
grub2 in finalise is slowed by re-populating the yum cache.
This change copies the grub2 rpm out of the yum cache so it can be installed
from file during finalise.
This should prevent disk becoming full during finalise on Fedora.

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.

This patch is part of a another big patch that will implement a fallback
to Extlinux in case GRUB2 is not available in the system. The reason why
it's being splitted in two patches is because git is not being able to
recognize the file changes when the rename happens in the same commit.
