The correct workflow for building RHEL6 images includes not using
the rhel-registration scripts in this element, but rather the 00-rhsm
script. This patch updates the return value from 1 to 0 for the case
when the REG_METHOD is left unset. This will allow the RHEL6 images
to build without needing to set REG_METHOD. This patch also improves
the note about RHEL6 image building.
This patch is the result of the discussion in the comments of [1].

When using the rhel element, it can be uesful to disable registration.
For instance, if using an internal mirror repository that does not
require registration/authentication.

These scripts are littered with references to passwords and keys,
so rather than try to disable tracing in every one of those places
I propose we simply turn it off for the scripts. This will likely
need to be revisited after the global tracing discussion is
resolved anyway.

This patch adds support to register with the hosted customer portal
using activation keys. If an activation key is present in either
the REG_ACTIVATION_KEY or rh_registration.activation_key, it will
use that value instead of username and password credentials when
registering with Satellite or the hosted Customer Portal. This
patch also enforces that an org must be set in either the REG_ORG
or rh_registration.org to use the activation key.

This patch documents the 00-rhsm script as <= RHEL6 as it doesn't
work with the latest release of Satellite. The Red Hat Network
(RHN) method of registration is being phased out in favor of Red
Hat Customer Portal and Satellite 6. The subscription-manager
command line tool is the preferred method of registration.
The registration of RHEL is required to enable repositories for
software installation during image creation time.
This element provides functionality for registering RHEL images
during the image build process with diskimage-builder's
disk-image-create script. The RHEL image will register itself
with either the hosted Red Hat Customer Portal or Satellite to
enable software installation from official repositories. After
the end of the image creation process, the image will unregister
itself so an entitlement will not be decremented from the account.
Boot-time registration is supported through metadata. Please see
the configuration in the README for more information.
