6a5da7e157 Spec for changing the block device handling
During the creation of a disk image (e.g. for a VM), there is the need
to create, setup, configure and afterwards detach some kind of storage
where the newly installed OS can be copied to or directly installed
in.

b59ae02431 Add specs dir
Currently we do not have a dib-specific specs repository. Technically,
we are part of the tripleo-specs repository but dib-core does not imply
tripleo-specs core. To fix this and to encourage the use of specs lets
create a specs process that lives right in tree.

8b3419b0a9 Fix sphinx-build to not depend on diskimage-builder
Currently, running sphinx_build fails for us because we depend on
diskimage-builder in our sphinx conf.py. This causes doc generation
on sites like rtfd to fail unless they install the diskimage-builder
module beforehand. We can, alternatively, import pbr directly and not
require the module as part of doc generation.

672705831f Add a best-effort sudo safety check
As motivation for this; we have had two breakouts of dib in recent
memory.  One was a failure to unmount through symlinks in the core
code (I335316019ef948758392b03e91f9869102a472b9) and the other was
removing host keys on the build-system
(Ib01d71ff9415a0ae04d963f6e380aab9ac2260ce).

For the most part, dib runs unprivileged.  Bits of the core code are
hopefully well tested (modulo bugs like the first one!).  We give free
reign inside the chroot (although there is still some potential there
for adverse external affects via bind mounts).  Where we could be a
bit safer (and could have prevented at least the second of these
breakouts) is with some better checking that the "sudo" calls
*outside* the chroot at least looked sane.

This adds a basic check that we're using chroot or image paths when
calling sudo in those parts of elements that run *outside* the chroot.
Various files are updated to accomodate this check; mostly by just
ignoring it for existing code (I have not audited these calls).

Nobody is pretending this type of checking makes dib magically safe,
or removes the issues with it needing to do things as root during the
build.  But this can help find egregious errors like the key removal.

c6b6f269cc Add documentation for dib-lint
Prior to this, no user documentation of dib-lint existed, which
meant users had to read the dib-lint code itself to figure out
how it worked.  This changes adds documentation on using dib-lint
and the checks it currently supports.

5b6716cee8 Use fstrim to prep the block device
This cuts the image size down alot, esspecially if there were lots of
small file deletes.

The fstrim utility is in the util-linux package and should be on
most all systems. fstrim also works with XFS, ext4, btrfs, etc
prodiving the kernel is new enough.

A reduction of 25% or more in size is common.

0c32784663 Revert "Zerofree the image if possible"
This reverts commit 5184d02a7c.

The decision was made to go with fstrim because it is faster and more
universal that zerofree. The related-id has the patchset that implements
fstrim.

fa3c5e3056 Add image size report
In the common case of not specifying a size, we are already running
"du" over the image to figure out how big it is.  Leverage that by
saving it's output and displaying a pruned list of big files when
requested.

We add a flag to show a summarised option (files >10MiB) and another
to show full output, should you wish that level of detail.

"Invocation" documentation is updated (and formatted a little better
while we're here).

5184d02a7c Zerofree the image if possible
If the image has an ext filesystem and the zerofree utility is present
on the build system then run zerofree. This should make images as
compressable as possible which is a nice feature when building
compressed qcow2 images.

b18f71f781 Rework functional test runner
This simplifies and enhances the functional-test runner script for
much better interactive behaviour and to give us the ability to better
choose what is running in CI.

Firstly, I have split the image-output testing into a separate script.
This is not actually part of the functional testing of elements and is
both logically and functionally different.  It currently does not run
in upstream CI because we don't have docker in the images.  I have
nothing against it, but it can be it's own thing.

run_functests.sh is overhauled to have a useful interactive interface,
e.g.

---
 $ ./run_functests.sh -h
 run_functests.sh [-h] [-l] <test> <test> ...
   -h : show this help
   -l : list available tests
   <test> : functional test to run
            Special test 'all' will run all tests

 $ ./run_functests.sh -l
 The available functional tests are:

  apt-sources/test-sources
  debian/build-succeeds
  fedora/build-succeeds
  fedora/build-succeeds-f21
  ironic-agent/build-succeeds-fedora
---

As described there, you can run a single test, a number of tests, the
default tests (as CI will do) or all tests.  Running all tests is too
much for regular CI, but currently the only way to stop a low priority
test running, or temporarily pause is to remove it completely --
clearly sub-optimal (see I93c2990472e88ab3e5ff14db56b4ff1b4dd965ef).

There is nothing complicated about this, and to further simplify I
have merged the runner functions back into run_functests.sh which
remains a very modest ~150 lines, with most of that being argument
sanity.  With that and the image-format cleanup, we can remove the
indirection of the 3 small library files.

For consistency, I have renamed the "dib_functions_test" (that tests
things from the dib functions library) with a run_* prefix.

Because the default list is the same as the current functional tests
run, this does not modify the status-quo.  I plan to modify this,
however, to run fedora-minimal & centos-minimal tests in a future
change, as these are required to be stable for openstack ci.

Documentation is updated, and a README.rst is added in the tests
directory for discoverability.

e8cecab45c Prettify 'Developing Elements' documentation
Augment the developing_elements.rst by taking advantage of Sphinx
markup. Most of the doc used to be in /README.md and thus did not
leverage on Sphinx.

Use inline codeblock to denote variables, files, command: ``foo``
Phase Subdirectories:
  List phase names in the preliminary introduction
  Get rid of lists in favor of definitions
  Highlight whether the phase runs in or outside the chroot
  Input parameters are now lists

Use definition lists in Dependencies and Ramdisk sections.

Link to elements README when they exist.

Testing Element: split into two subsections: 'shell' and 'python'.

Use "sourcecode:: sh" for the couple examples at the very top and very
bottom of the document.
