Add a --options flag that allows disk-image-create to send custom

save_image is used to copy kernel and ramdisks out of the image, which
we will sometimes want to keep the source, and sometimes not. However
for the main image itself, the temp copy is never kept, so use mv
rather than cp and avoid the excess IO.

In fb246a02eb we introduced an
ext4 option to allow root filesystems to be resized up to 1PB.
This appears to cause an ext4 resize2fs bug in some images.
When the issue occurs an image will hit a kernel bug when
cloud-init runs the resize2fs command during first boot:
kernel BUG at fs/ext4/resize.c:409!
In this commit we add a new option for max-online-resize
which can be used if a really large root partition is
desirable.
The root cause of all this is really a design problem in
DIB/TripleO at the moment in that we shouldn't have to worry about the
max size of the root file system when creating our images. Ideally we'd
just mkfs on the root file system itself. Much more efficient,
avoids this problem altogether...
I think the best thing to do today to avoid this is make setting
max-online-resize an option in DIB. This will allow us to stick
to the (well tested) ext4 defaults for most cases, and if someone has
need for a large root filesystem they can easily bump the setting. This
may be temporary until we either fix the design... or the ext4 fix is
released.

With smaller base images, such as Debian, the padding value used to

Occasionally cloud-init fails to resize the disk on first boot, this is
occuring because the filesystem has only 10% free. Nudging the disk size
up a bit more should give us a little more headroom so this is less
likely to occur.
I havn't been able to find out what value ensures we wont hit this
problem but I can say for sure this fixes all casses of the problem I
have seen.

Adds an option for --image-size, which sets the DIB_IMAGE_SIZE
environment variable. Having the cli option makes disk-image-create
more consistent in that parameters are able to be specified via a flag
on the command line or an environment variable. Also, you may not be
able to remember all the environment variables that you can tweak, yet
--help will tell you about the cli parameters. Preserves the old
behavior as well where if DIB_IMAGE_SIZE is set in your environment, it
will be honored.

In some scenarios, the required space in the tmpfs partition can be
larger (or smaller) than the default one, producing errors due to
the lack of enough space (or performance penalties for not using
tmpfs).
Using --min-tmpfs <size>, we can hint the working set size we'll need
and let dib choose to avoid or use tmpfs.

When compressing an image, this is done in the same dir where the raw
image resides, doubling the amount of space needed (scarce when
using tmpfs), and then it's moved to the .cache folder in disk.
Combining these two functions, we reduce the amount of space needed
in the tmpfs partition (when in use), and the compressed image is
created directly on the .cache folder disk, so there is no need to
move the compressed image after the process into disk.

Complex image builds can download hundreds of MB of data from the
internet with many separate lookups. It would be nice to allow users
to ask for a fast build where those lookups are entirely avoided,
using locally cached resources (where possible). This new interface
allows users to signal to elements that they wish to operate without
updating cached resources, which will in turn allow us to avoid
checking for stale data at all.
As part of this I've also documented where we cache data, so that
things like the ccache cache dir and image cache files are not a
surprise to users.

Qemu-nbd does not perform well with older versions of qemu due to
the lack of writeback caching mode. It also only builds qcow2 images
and there is a desire for raw image support. Finally, qemu-nbd makes
it very difficult to build images concurrently due to the somewhat
opaque nature of how it selects a /dev/nbd# device. losetup, on
the other hand, makes this process very straight forward.
