fefc28a918 Add option --min-tmpfs <size> to disk-image-create
In some scenarios, the required space in the tmpfs partition can be
larger (or smaller) than the default one, producing errors due to
the lack of enough space (or performance penalties for not using
tmpfs).

Using --min-tmpfs <size>, we can hint the working set size we'll need
and let dib choose to avoid or use tmpfs.

87fb533979 Modify relative paths of lib, elements for packaging
(Based on review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/36009)

Scripts test for existence of ../share/diskimage-builder and
fall-back to ../ if not found. This allows scripts to run unmodified
from a packaged installation or a local archive/repository.

ee5ae03d58 Enable running disk-image-create on SUSE Linux
- Ensures /sbin and friends are in $PATH when invoked (without this,
  various sudo invocations fail in exciting ways).
- Use dib-run-parts in lib/common-functions instead of run-parts
  (neither SLES nor openSUSE ship run-parts).
- Ensure dib-run-parts doesn't descend into subdirectories (same
  behaviour as run-parts).
- Move dib-run-parts from root.d to bin (cleaner, consistent with
  other elements with separate bin scripts).
- Tested by building Ubuntu image on openSUSE 12.3.
- Note: this doesn't add support for creating SUSE images, it just
  lets you run disk-image-create on SUSE-based distros.

f7f6cb45ee Fix the DIB_OFFLINE setting to actually work.
I missed the getopt parameter and forgot defaults are imported after
option processing. Untested code is broken code!

b2f1d4e2af Document an interface for offline operation.
Complex image builds can download hundreds of MB of data from the
internet with many separate lookups. It would be nice to allow users
to ask for a fast build where those lookups are entirely avoided,
using locally cached resources (where possible). This new interface
allows users to signal to elements that they wish to operate without
updating cached resources, which will in turn allow us to avoid
checking for stale data at all.

As part of this I've also documented where we cache data, so that
things like the ccache cache dir and image cache files are not a
surprise to users.
