ba808fa6ec ironic-agent element to output a .kernel file
The ironic-agent element is created using the disk-image-create utility
(even being a ramdisk) and outputs a .vmlinuz file for the kernel
(different than the ramdisk-image-create which outputs a .kernel file
for the kernel). This is inconsistent and make scripting against the
diskimage-builder more complicated if one wants to support different
types of ramdisk.

This patch creates a hard link for the .vmlinuz file to a .kernel file
at the end of the process (to keep backward compatibility) and print a
deprecation message.

1181fb8543 Reduce the size of the ironic-agent ramdisk
This patch is reducing the size of the ramdisk image generated by the
ironic-agent element. It does remove extra packages (graphical stuff,
dev stuff, miscs, docs, etc...) and purges directories that are not
needed for a ramdisk (like /boot since it boots using an external
kernel)

Currently it was tested generating a Fedora 22 image and reduced the
size of the final image from 464 MB to 211MB compacted (54% decrease).

I was able to boot a VM with 1.3 GiB of ram instead of the previous 3 GiB
needed.

92dab2c82a ironic-agent: exclude content of /tmp from initramfs
/tmp does not contain anything useful anyway, and excluding its content
makes the initramfs smaller too.

36b59c001c Standarise tracing for scripts
There is a wide variety of tracing options through the various shell
scripts.  Some use "set -eux", others explicity set xtrace and others
do nothing.  There is a "-x" option to bin/disk-image-create but it
doesn't flow down to the many scripts it calls.

This adds a global integer variable set by disk-image-create
DIB_DEBUG_TRACE.  All scripts have a stanza added to detect this and
turn on tracing.  Any other tracing methods are rolled into this.  So
the standard header is

---
if [ "${DIB_DEBUG_TRACE:-0}" -gt 0 ]; then
    set -x
fi
set -eu
set -o pipefail
---

Multiple -x options can be specified to dib-create-image, which
increases the value of DIB_DEBUG_TRACE.  If script authors feel their
script should only trace at higher levels, they should modify the
"-gt" value.  If they feel it should trace by default, they can modify
the default value also.

Changes to pachset 16 : scripts which currently trace themselves by
default have retained this behaviour with DIB_DEBUG_TRACE defaulting
to "1".  This was done by running [1] on patch set 15.  See the thread
beginning at [2]

dib-lint is also updated to look for the variable being matched.

4dceacd5ed Allow absolute path to image with ironic-agent
The element was prepending the work directory forcibly, which will have
problems when the image name has an absolute path, which is allowed.
