Using rpm -e to remove old kernels fails when other packages also
depend on the removed kernel.
This change reverts back to using dnf to remove the kernel, but also
sets the config value protect_running_kernel=False to avoid the issue
where the build host kernel version matches the version of the package
being deleted.
reverts commit 1ac31afd62.

If the running kernel of the system building the image
matches the kernel that is to be removed dnf will fail.
Repalce use use of dnf with rpm -e.

It turns out dnf argparse can't handle negative numbers without "=".
It's actually documented in the man page
--latest-limit <number> ... If <number> is negative skip <number>
of latest packages. If a negative number is used use syntax
--latest-limit=<number>
But who reads that :) This started failing with Fedora 26

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__.
