Right now dib-python works by trying to find any python on a system in
an order of precedence. A much better way is if we are explicit about
the python we intend to be there which will allow us to make better
decisions in other elements (such as allowing for package-installs to
take into account DIB_PYTHON_VERSION) as well as allow for users to
specify a preferred python version.

This patch solves three issues with Debian packaging / apt:
o When building 'testing' only default apt sources is
included - backports, updates and security are skipped because they
do not exists.
o The default release for Debian was `unstable`: this is now fixed to
`stable`.
o Starting a Debian Stretch VM that was build with diskimage-builder
does not work, because some mandatory packages are missing.
This patch fixes this problem: it adds the mandatory packages and
the test case.

'locales' package gets installed before '12-debian-locale-gen' is executed
and generates effectively empty /etc/locales.gen in debian, which makes
dpkg-reconfigure call to locales ignore the values set by
debconf-set-selections.
* Remove /etc/locale.gen generated by 'locales' installation to ensure
proper locales generation on debian images
* Remove 'locales-all' package installation from debian element since
it's not needed anymore to build the image and cosnumes additional
~120MB of space
* Remove unused 'package-installs' dependency from debian-minimal
element

Closes-Bug: #1452400
debootstrap is not debian or ubuntu specific. We can make a debootstrap
element that knows how to do all of the things, and then a
debian-minimal and ubuntu-minimal image that use it. Finally, make
the debian element simply be a collection of the extra things we do to
make it look like a cloud-init based cloud image.
