Fixes problems found by set -eu and pipefail, including:
-Many unset variables
-Commands that can fail under normal circumstances, which breaks
with set -e. This change swallows those expected errors to allow
our existing error code to handle them.
-The dkms element was not finding Fedora kernel versions correctly.
This may be an issue for other distros too, but since Fedora was
working fine without this functionality I only changed it to print
a warning message rather than failing the build when it happens.
-The ramdisk init script will not be set -eu because if it fails
the result is a kernel panic, which can be tricky to debug.
However, in testing with set -e a few failing commands were found
and have been fixed in this patch.

If the loop partition isn't created as a device by the kernel, go ahead and use
kpartx to create the device.

Qemu-nbd does not perform well with older versions of qemu due to
the lack of writeback caching mode. It also only builds qcow2 images
and there is a desire for raw image support. Finally, qemu-nbd makes
it very difficult to build images concurrently due to the somewhat
opaque nature of how it selects a /dev/nbd# device. losetup, on
the other hand, makes this process very straight forward.

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.
