56dc0a2c31 centos 8 image build: fix mirror
We're ending up with "centoscentos" in the mirror location and the
build fails; strip out the $contentdir from the original too.

8226384cf0 Add CentOS 8 support
* Add "centos" element, a CentOS version-independent element. This is in
  line with the same work done for RHEL in Stein cycle.
* Deprecate the centos7 element. CentOS 7 support itself it not
  deprecated though. The new "centos" element provides the same support
  level as the "centos7" element.
* Add functional testing

The default CentOS version is 8. You can adjust it using the DIB_RELEASE
environment variable.

a00d02f6a1 Remove centos and rhel elements
Several people have popped up in IRC recently with failures in these
elements.  Without Python 2.7 available in the image they are
unsupported (OpenStack hasn't supported it for a long time).  Remove
these to avoid further confusion.

The centos/centos7 DISTRO split that has happened with centos-minimal
is unfortunate but I don't think it helps to rename centos7/rhel7 ATM.
To summarise; DISTRO=centos7 means image based build,
DISTRO=centos && DIB_RELEASE=7 means the minimal build.

In the future, I think it is important that the minimal builds and
image builds set the same DISTRO.  This reflects that "upper" layers
shouldn't care about the exact building of the lower layers.  I see
CentOS 8 going one of two ways

1) the changes are so significant, we start separate centos8 /
centos8-minimal elements.  They both set DISTRO=centos8 (and
DIB_RELEASE to point-release maybe?).  This means we have to update
all "if DISTRO == centos || DISTRO == centos7" branches to also check
for "centos8".  Evenually (!)  "centos" goes away for versioned DISTRO
only

2) we restore centos element with DISTRO=centos and DIB_RELEASE=8, and
centos-minimal remains the same.  This means we have to audit all "if
DISTRO == centos" calls to make sure they're appropriate for version 8
(stick a "&& DIB_RELEASE=7" on them all basically).

I'm not sure we can fully decide until we start to see excatly how the
distro switching/matching bits look, but (2) is consistent with Ubuntu
and probably the preferred solution.

Some "rhel" parts have been cleaned up.  More could be done in
rhel-common, but given our lack of coverage of that I'd prefer to
leave it for now.

97c01e48ed Move elements & lib relative to diskimage_builder package
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__.
