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.

Document the use of DIB_ as a prefix on environmental variables that can
be overridden at build time.
Introduce the first such variable by migrating IMAGE_SIZE to
DIB_IMAGE_SIZE.

Using ELEMENTS_DIR env variable, you can specify multiple dirs containint your elements.
It must be a ":" separated elements list.
When an element is seen in one of those lists, it will be chosen and will continue with the next element.

ELEMENTS_DIR env var was not being set by lib/ramdisk-defaults.
This caused ramdisk-image-create to fail.

Using the IMAGE_TYPE env variable, you can select which ouput disk format you want for your image.
Only qcow2 format supports compression.

Log first-boot.d script output to a file, to ease troubleshooting,
since the first-boot scripts are removed from the system after
running, even in case of failure.

Also modified dib-run-parts to apply a more workable solution for
filtering out unwanted files such as editor backups and VCS.
The script is installed in its own element, depended on by the OS
specific ubuntu element. This is because the ubuntu element (and
later other OS's) are responsible for populating the root filesystem.
If we try to install this in base, the root filesystem will look to
be populated already and we will skip automatically choosing ubuntu.

This includes the install-packages implementation for dpkg, apt http proxy

Move common openstack service installation operations
into a new script `os-svc-install`, which simplifies
the elements for openstack services.

This patch fixes a problem: if a binary is not found, the script
exits without a message informs what is needed (because of 'set -e').

This is a necessary but not complete step towards supporting Fedora and Suse
distributions. Further work is needed (e.g. to quiesce daemons on
installation).

Rather than force creation of an element for a single package install,
allow people to do this from the command line.

Flavour is overloaded in openstack due to it being used by nova. Element
seems to have the same feeling of combinability without using a term already
in active use in the openstack community.

Where possible use the system configured resolv.conf file
to to support resolution of internal servers such as proxies.
Use previous hardcoded google dns nameserver as fallback
