The vhdutil utility is completely dead; the whole subsystem it relies
on was removed with [1] so it's not even vaguely possible to keep it
up-to-date.
I took the .raw images on a nb and used the qemu-img there (so Xenial)
and generated some VPC images; uploaded them to rackspace and the all
seemed to boot fine. If there was a problem, maybe it's been fixed on
either the qemu or RAX side in the previous few years.
Thus swith to qemu-img to generate the vhd images too.

With the introduction of centos 8 we have constructs like
if [[ $DISTRO =~ (centos|fedora) && $DIB_RELEASE -ge 8 ]]
This is intended to match the "centos7" element (from the =~) but it
was missed that this is setting the DIB_RELEASE to "GenericCloud".
I think it makes more sense for this to be a numeric release, and
makes constructs like above work. There really isn't any other type
of image to choose here; thus we move it into a new, centos7
specific variable.
Note that when the centos 8 images are available, we want to move to a
generic "centos" element that will handle both 7 and 8 together (same
as rhel) based on DIB_RELEASE and deprecate centos7; this works with
that environment too.

It turns out that this breaks ipv6 config with NM. Instead what we want
is for glean to not up interfaces on boot (see the depends-on).

As described inline, NetworkManager and dhcp-client make up the basic
networking for centos 8 installs; bring them into the base image.
Although in infra we then use simple-init, some other users find this
helpful.

By default network-scripts package isn't installed, so the directories

Use the wrapper calls from Ia267a60eecfa8f4071dd477d86daebe07e9a7e38
to install glean.
Using this wrapper means we cover all cases without more and more
branches; it should work for python2, python3 and also the special
case of RHEL/CentOS where dib-python points to the special
/usr/libexec/platform-python (which is python3.6 with inbuilt pip)

NetworkManager with simple-init has proven to be stable in OpenStack
infra, switch to it by default for CentOS and Fedora. For CentOS 8
and Fedora, add a check to make it the only option. Thus only CenOS 7
remains optionally using the legacy scripts; this is likely not used
anywhere (infra is really the primary user, where NetworkManager is
already used); we can likely remove this variable (and hence path) in
a future cleanup.
In the setup, remove rhel7 element which was never really tested.
Reorganise the fallthrough to call out the default paths as doing
nothing.

Add option to set the security mirror URL independently in the
debian-minimal element, since this can not be overriden by the
standard DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR variable.

As described inline, deprecate the "source" install for CentOS 8.
Overwriting the packaged tools has long been a pain-point in our
images, and the best outcome is just not to play the game [1].
However, the landscape remains complicated. For example, RHEL/CentOS
8 introduces the separate "platform-python" binary, which seems like
the right tool to install platform tools like "glean" (simple-init)
with. However, platform-python doesn't have virtualenv (only the
inbuilt venv).
So that every element doesn't have to hard-code in workarounds for
these various layouts, create two new variables DIB_PYTHON_PIP and
DIB_PYTHON_VIRTUALENV to just "do the right thing". If you need is
"install a pip package" or "create a virtualenv" this should work on
all the platforms we support. If you know more specifically what you
want (e.g. must be a python3 virtualenv) then nothing stops elements
calling that directly (e.g. python3 -m virtualenv create); these are
just helper wrappers for base elements that need to be broadly
compatible.

Don't install the "yum" package, which is a backwards compat around
dnf. With 687003f we should not need the backwards compat links any
more.
Add libcurl to avoid conficts with in the curl "-minimal" packages
that happens on CentOS 8. But skip it on Fedora, because it seems to
create more problems there (not going to pretend it isn't all a
hack ... but it seems to work).

A few places we either assume centos uses "yum" directly, or have

In both cases, we can use ${YUM} directly to avoid ambiguity

The libselinux packages etc don't exist for Python 2 on Centos 8 [1].
Ensure the package map installs the python3 versions.
We could probably invert the logic now, and make it so Centos 7 is the
"special" version that overrides things to install python2. Left
alone for now to avoid changing too much at once.

CentOS 8 has the "new" split-up locales packages. Fedora 24 is now
long gone, so take out the old branch and apply the lang package
install to Centos 8 as well.
The manual locale cleanup is not necessary on Centos 8; skip it.

The repo format has slightly changed for CentOS 8 (s/os/baseos/).
Make the chroot builder look for a more specific repos.d directory
first named for the distro variable, then fall back to to top-level
dir (this avoids having to constantly change fedora).
Update the gate mirror setup and roles for new Centos 8 paths too.

Install the Python 3 libselinux packages for Fedora platforms. I
think this is the right choice; Fedora is a Python-3 only distro so we
shouldn't default to installing the python2 libraries.
This has a practical effect if you're using Ansible with
ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3 as it needs these
packages.
There is some small chance of breakage if you're using Ansible still
with Python 2, I guess. In infra I notice we bring this in with
"zuul-worker" project-config element. On balance, I think that if you
need the Python 2 packages for some reason, it should be a special
install and not part of redhat-common.

This reverts commit 74317a3445.
What I missed was that "dib-lint" is distributed and people use this
to lint their out-of-tree elements (e.g. project-config). Because
dib-lint runs flake8 that really makes it a valid runtime dependency.
However, I don't think we need to pin to these particular versions of
flake8 in requirements (which I think was causing the original issues,
as it's fairly specific and easily conflicts). It seems to make more
sense to use the current uncapped "hacking" versions; so move them
from test-requirements.txt. Add a note so we don't forget again.

linux-firmware and linux-firmware-whence (meta package for mostly iwl
firmwares) packages account for approx. 289 M install size on a F30
system, and linux-firmware for approx. 176 M on CentOS 7. Users needing
these firmwares are eventually baremetal users and are not looking for a
very minimal operating system base install like virtual image users are.
Thus, a non-minimal OS element is better suited for them. Alternatively,
it could be later considered a dedicated firmware element.
This is inline with I8ce65e1d357d15e8ed8995ad1dcaea02bbd1986f.

Flake8 was wrongly listed as a runtime dependency. That mistake messed

Also flake8 version is already determined by hacking version, so we
