ARM doesn't have a generic Linux image due to the soc-specific nature of Linux
kernels today, so we drop the manual installation of that package, replacing it
with a dist-upgrade instead. This involved tweaks to the dpkg and fedora
install-package scripts.

This will write two files in /etc/ that contain the environment and
command line arguments used in the creation of an image. This should
assist with later efforts to repeat the creation of an image.

Also modified dib-run-parts to apply a more workable solution for
filtering out unwanted files such as editor backups and VCS.
The script is installed in its own element, depended on by the OS
specific ubuntu element. This is because the ubuntu element (and
later other OS's) are responsible for populating the root filesystem.
If we try to install this in base, the root filesystem will look to
be populated already and we will skip automatically choosing ubuntu.

This includes the install-packages implementation for dpkg, apt http proxy
config, daemon blocking and unblocking.

Remove the explicit installation of an English language pack and instead
just default LANG to C. This settls Perl's noisy warnings and also stops
any side effects of different language build hosts.
Note that this is set right at the start of the build process, so it
should be entirely possible to override if needs be.

This disables apt's default behaviour of installing packages in the
Recommends field of other packages. While this can be useful, it
causes a lot of unnecessary software to be installed and may cause
explicit dependencies to be missed in some circumstances.

This change causes the "base" element to install and generate English
locales, thereby mitigating a lot of build noise (at least for
English speaking users). Also included is a note in the element's
README.md about what users in other locales should do.

Fix a typo in the base element itself.
Refer to it early in the README since it is likely to be useful to
almost everyone.

Flavour is overloaded in openstack due to it being used by nova. Element
seems to have the same feeling of combinability without using a term already
in active use in the openstack community.
