I am getting a lot of http 404's from Fedora mirrors, in particular in
the US. Alternatively we could get cache-url to use previously existing
files if they exist and there is an error but this may not be the
correct thing todo in all cases.
So for now we do a retry if HTTP 404 is returned to the request for a
Fedora image.

The fedora element downloads the latest available image so presumably
will jump to F20 once available. Probably causing several days (weeks?)
of busted stuff. Of course it will be impossible to know when all users
of the elements are ready to switch but the least we can do is allow a
little time as a buffer.
This commit ties it down to a specific version which can then be updated
when the consumers of this element are ready. This allso follows the
same pattern as the ubuntu element.

When extracting the base image without --numeric-owner, user and group
names in the tarball are mapped to uid/gid by the host. This can cause
problems when building an image for some other distro than you're
running yourself. For example, building an Ubuntu image on openSUSE
ends up with /var/cache/man in the image owned by 'proxy' (uid 13)
instead of 'man' (uid 6), because the host (openSUSE) uses uid 13 for
the 'man' user. This particular man/proxy discrepancy results in
"fopen: Permission denied" errors when apt-get does its "Processing
triggers for man-db" thing in the Ubuntu system. I wouldn't be
surprised if there were other kinks caused by this uid/gid mapping
discrepancy too, but that's the one I found so far.
The same thing can also happen with Fedora, but seems to be less likely,
or at least less obvious to me when building Fedora images on openSUSE.
But, IMO, it's better to be safe and just use --numeric-owner on all
base image untarring outside the chroot.

DIB_IMAGE_CACHE will be a user override for the location where images
are cached. Default location is ~/.cache/image-create

This option does not exist on RHEL hosts and matches what is
currently present in elements/rhel/root.d/10-rhel-cloud-image.

Similar to the Ubuntu element the Fedora element had not been updated
to honour --offline. Also similarly we only check for the existence of
the final cached file rather than the image we directly download,
because they are generated separately.
The -u change is just hygiene to detect future buggy changes.

Latest Fedora cloud images are available here
http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/
With this change, when a Fedora version comes up,
d-i-b will point to it automatically.

On Fedora 19, there is a delay between the time loop0p2
is created to the time it is ready to be mounted.
This patches waits for 5 seconds for /dev/mapper/loop0p2
to be accessible. If it is not ready then the script
exits with status 1.
Fixes: bug #1197340

The fedora element downloads images too, so we should re-use the caching
code from the ubuntu element.
There doesn't seem to be other examples of code shared between root.d
scripts. In the fedora and dpkg elements we copy install-packages into
the chroot, but that model doesn't apply when we're running scripts
outside of the chroot. Seems sane to just run it directly from the bin/
dir in the temporary hooks directory.

Fedora's partprobe does not create devices the same way it does on
Ubuntu. Instead of using partprobe, this patch uses kpartx, which
works on both Fedora and Ubuntu.

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.

This switches $CLOUD_IMAGES and $RELEASE to the DIB_ namespace so
they will survive future changes to the sanitisation of the build
environment.
