The recent change to use loopdev instead of nbd stopped
honoring the DIB_IMAGE_SIZE setting.
This change adds it back, by resizing the image to
DIB_IMAGE_SIZE GB, if specified. If unspecified, it resizes
the image to (actual usage + 20%), as it did before this change.

When partition tables are added to loopback devices, this can set off a
chain of udev hooks that may still be holding the loopback open. Failing
to detach loopback devices was the reason we were seeing leaked tmpfs
volumes.

For machines with low RAM (or no access to /proc/meminfo) the builder
will still run, but will just build inside the filesystem that is
hosting /tmp. This will result in a slower build (especially if there
are a lot of .deb packages installed).

Sudo command (even using -E) resets $PATH for security reasons, Fedora
and other distos might have to explicitly add /usr/local/bin to $PATH
in order to run the commands in the chroot environment.

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.

Post install scripts are useful because they can perform tasks you want
to handle after the OS/application install but before the first boot
of the image. e.g: Clean the cache left by the package manager reducing
the size of the image.

Document the use of DIB_ as a prefix on environmental variables that can
be overridden at build time.
Introduce the first such variable by migrating IMAGE_SIZE to
DIB_IMAGE_SIZE.

ARM doesn't have a generic Linux image due to the soc-specific nature of Linux
kernels today, so we drop the manual installation of that package, replacing it
with a dist-upgrade instead. This involved tweaks to the dpkg and fedora
install-package scripts.

This will write two files in /etc/ that contain the environment and
command line arguments used in the creation of an image. This should
assist with later efforts to repeat the creation of an image.

Using ELEMENTS_DIR env variable, you can specify multiple dirs containint your elements.
It must be a ":" separated elements list.
When an element is seen in one of those lists, it will be chosen and will continue with the next element.

Move common openstack service installation operations

This change includes the 'base' element by default and adds a
command line switch to prevent this behaviour. This should reduce
confusion since this element is almost always necessary.

This is a necessary but not complete step towards supporting Fedora and Suse
distributions. Further work is needed (e.g. to quiesce daemons on
installation).

Remove the explicit installation of an English language pack and instead
just default LANG to C. This settls Perl's noisy warnings and also stops
any side effects of different language build hosts.
Note that this is set right at the start of the build process, so it
should be entirely possible to override if needs be.

This adds a new optional file to the root of elements. The
file lists dependencies which will be added to the list
requested by the user during disk image creation.

We originally checked the return code of getopt, but subsequently
a debugging echo has been inserted and now we are checking the
return code of "echo", which is very rarely going to be useful.

Flavour is overloaded in openstack due to it being used by nova. Element
seems to have the same feeling of combinability without using a term already
in active use in the openstack community.
