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 previous commit removes dkms from the base element, which
means the centos elements should no longer have a dependency on
EPEL. Therefore, we should not hardcode the epel dependency. It
can still be included in image builds as desired by using the epel
element explicitly.

Instead of manually creating epel.repo files, make use of the epel
element, which will properly install epel-release.

This is the centos element, which builds CentOS 6.
There are a couple of modifications to redhat-common because
the version of tar in el6 doesn't support --xattrs-include.
There is a change to both pkg-map and svc-map to add 'centos'
to the 'redhat' family.
Also explicitly have to install cloud-utils growroot and
dracut growpart for proper fsresize at instance launch.
Also sets the DIB_EXTLINUX variable because there is no grub2
for this distro.
