Sometimes an element needs packages installed so that it can
perform tasks but those package are not appropriate for the
final image content. Add a "build-only" flag to package-install-squash
which will cause package to be installed at the beginning of the
phase and then uninstalled at the end of the phase.

This causes problems for other projects incorporating dib; we don't
have a specific need for a cap.
Fix a few issues, mostly spacing or regex matches. No functional
changes.
W503 and W504 relate to leaving artithmetic operators at the start or
end of lines, and are mutually exclusive and, due to "ignore"
overriding the defaults both get enabled. It seems everyone gets this
wrong (https://gitlab.com/pycqa/flake8/issues/466). Don't take a
position on this and ignore both.
Use double # around comments including YAML snippets using "# type: "
which now gets detected as PEP484/mypy type hints.

Provide a "when" option that provides for not installing packages
based on a = or != match on an environment variable.
Unit tests are added.

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__.
