Now that the main partitioning refactor patch is merged, there is
a small relict of handling partitions still in the disk-image-create
main.
This patch moves the functionality from disk-image-create to the
block-device/partitioning module: it is mostly a rewrite of the
original bash code in python.

During the creation of a disk image (e.g. for a VM), there is the need
to create, setup, configure and afterwards detach some kind of storage
where the newly installed OS can be copied to or directly installed
in.
This patch implements partitioning handling.

We do not have the concept of "not installed" in v2, so remove the
obsolete code looking for a now non-existent variable.
Also, log the version at startup. This can help when
debugging from logs

Remove the x bit from lib/disk-image-create; because it's called
directly by the entry-point, it doesn't need to be exectuable.
This should also be clearer that you're not supposed to run it
by hand.
Remove some boilerplate from old file

It has always been a weird thing that dib is a python package, but
is totally driven by the disk-image-create script. It creates this
strange division that is hard to explain.
This moves disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point
Currently, this simply exec()s the original disk-image-create script.
However, we now have a (private) interface between disk-image-create
written in python and the driver shell script. Here's some things we
could do, for example:
* Argument parsing is generally nicer in Python, and then end result
is mostly just setting environment variables to flag different things
in the shell script. I could see us moving the argument-parsing into
diskimage_builder.disk_image_create:main() and just setting things in
os.environ before the exec()).
* I7092e1845942f249175933d67ab121188f3511fd sets IMAGE_ELEMENT_YAML in
disk-image-create by calling-back to element-info. We can just call
element_dependencies.find_all_elements() in here an export is to
os.environ before disk-image-create starts.
* remove need for ramdisk-image-create symlink by just exporting
IS_RAMDISK based on sys.argv[1] value
* you could even unit test some of this :)
