Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level
directory and install them into
<root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either /
or the root of a virtualenv).
The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e)
do *not* install data_files. Thus we have no canonical location to
look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a
whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a
special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python
unit tests on those elements that have it.
data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially
assets of the program. data_files install works well for things like
config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files.
By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always
know where they are relative to where we import from. In fact,
pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new
diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1].
We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we
need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the
library shell functions.
Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which
we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more.
They just get found automatically by the normal subunit loader.
I have a follow-on change (I69ca3d26fede0506a6353c077c69f735c8d84d28)
to move disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point.
Unfortunately, this has to move to work with setuptools. You'd think
a symlink under diskimage_builder/[elements|lib] would work, but it
doesn't.
[1] this API handles stuff like getting files out of .zip archive
modules, which we don't do. Essentially for us it's returning
__file__.

The use of dkms in base was actually removed long ago in
Ic2c345bf9f0738dadae611194e263d3a5d424a3e and it is creating an
unnecessary dependency on EPEL for the centos elements.

This checks the profile, if it has hardened in it's name it needs xattr support
unfortunately xattr support cannot yet be relied on everywhere, so it needs to
be disabled for hardened profile builds to correctly pax-mark.

Our bootloader install fails on non-gentoo builds due to missing pkg-map
for grub-pc. This map should really live in the bootloader element, so
move it there and fill it out.

vconfig is actually deprecated in favor of the ip command, and is not
available on some newer distros (RHEL 7 at least). I'm not honestly sure
why it needs to be installed in all images anyway. I traced the origins
of installing the vlan package here all the way back to the first dib
git import from some other repo...so, I don't see any obvious reason why
it needs to be installed.

With this change package name to distro mappings used
within the base element are now stored in the top
level pkg-map file.
Additionally, all bin/install-packages commands are updated
to use the -m option so that the base element pkg-map
namespace is used by default.
