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__.

RHEL 7 does not ship tgtadm or tgtd so they cannot be used in the
deploy ramdisk. This change separates the tgt-specific parts of
the ramdisk into their own element, and adds a new one that supports
targetcli instead.
For now, the tgt implementation can only be used with traditional
busybox ramdisks and the targetcli one can only be used with dracut.
This is because dracut is primarily used for RHEL right now so it
makes sense to keep the dependencies simple. If there is a future
desire to mix and match the implementations that could be done, but
it would require users to explicitly select between tgt and
targetcli.

In preparation for enabling Dracut-based ramdisks, this change
factors out functionality that is common to both busybox and Dracut
ramdisks. Said functionality is moved to a ramdisk-base element
which is added as a dependency of the ramdisk element. ramdisk now
only contains the functionality specific to building busybox-based
ramdisks.

This change adds support for retrieving the IP
through DHCP if 'ip' was not provided as a kernel
command-line argument by pxelinux. This is used
when the kernel/ramdisk is booted by virtual media.
