0c32784663 Revert "Zerofree the image if possible"
This reverts commit 5184d02a7c.

The decision was made to go with fstrim because it is faster and more
universal that zerofree. The related-id has the patchset that implements
fstrim.

5184d02a7c Zerofree the image if possible
If the image has an ext filesystem and the zerofree utility is present
on the build system then run zerofree. This should make images as
compressable as possible which is a nice feature when building
compressed qcow2 images.

24d1527111 Move speedup section to image building guide
speedup section explains  the user how to sppedup image build by using
tmpfs. The  correct user guide to have this section, is the user guide
about image building rather than the installation user guide.
