Some older distros (like centos8 and xenial) don't support SNI in their
easy_install implementations which are used to install setup_requires
for python packages. PBR is a setup_requires for glean. We work around
this problem when installing glean by preinstalling PBR with pip.

All the platforms we care about now have python3 with venv (even
centos7 now) packaged somehow. Add an ensure-venv element to make
sure that "python3 -m venv" works. Any other elements that wish to
install non-distribution-packaged Python utilities can use this to
keep them separate from the main system installs.
Port glean to use this, and drop its dependency on pip-and-virtualenv.

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)

Depending on the version of $DIB_PYTHON_VERSION, we can either use pip /
pip3 to install glean. This is helpful for newer OSes that might not
want to ship python2 (pip).

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__.
