As described in the comments inline, on a selinux enabled kernel (such
as a centos build host) you need to have permissions to change the
contexts to those the kernel doesn't understand -- such as when you're
building a fedora image.
For some reason, setfiles has an arbitrary limit of 10 errors before
it stops. I believe we previously had 9 errors (this mean 9
mis-labeled files, which were just waiting to cause problems).
Something changed with F26 setfiles and it started erroring
immediately, which lead to investigation. Infra builds, on
non-selinux Ubuntu kernel's, would not have hit this issue.
This means we need to move this to run with a manual chroot into the
image under restorecon.
I'm really not sure why ironic-agent removes all the selinux tools
from the image, it seems like an over-optimisation (it's been like
that since Id6333ca5d99716ccad75ea1964896acf371fa72a). Keep them so
we can run the relabel.

Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level
directory and install them into
<root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either /
or the root of a virtualenv).
The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e)
do *not* install data_files. Thus we have no canonical location to
look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a
whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a
special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python
unit tests on those elements that have it.
data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially
assets of the program. data_files install works well for things like
config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files.
By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always
know where they are relative to where we import from. In fact,
pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new
diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1].
We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we
need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the
library shell functions.
Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which
we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more.
They just get found automatically by the normal subunit loader.
I have a follow-on change (I69ca3d26fede0506a6353c077c69f735c8d84d28)
to move disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point.
Unfortunately, this has to move to work with setuptools. You'd think
a symlink under diskimage_builder/[elements|lib] would work, but it
doesn't.
[1] this API handles stuff like getting files out of .zip archive
modules, which we don't do. Essentially for us it's returning
__file__.
