Ian Wienand 36b59c001c Standarise tracing for scripts
There is a wide variety of tracing options through the various shell
scripts.  Some use "set -eux", others explicity set xtrace and others
do nothing.  There is a "-x" option to bin/disk-image-create but it
doesn't flow down to the many scripts it calls.

This adds a global integer variable set by disk-image-create
DIB_DEBUG_TRACE.  All scripts have a stanza added to detect this and
turn on tracing.  Any other tracing methods are rolled into this.  So
the standard header is

---
if [ "${DIB_DEBUG_TRACE:-0}" -gt 0 ]; then
    set -x
fi
set -eu
set -o pipefail
---

Multiple -x options can be specified to dib-create-image, which
increases the value of DIB_DEBUG_TRACE.  If script authors feel their
script should only trace at higher levels, they should modify the
"-gt" value.  If they feel it should trace by default, they can modify
the default value also.

Changes to pachset 16 : scripts which currently trace themselves by
default have retained this behaviour with DIB_DEBUG_TRACE defaulting
to "1".  This was done by running [1] on patch set 15.  See the thread
beginning at [2]

dib-lint is also updated to look for the variable being matched.

# Use a cache for pip

Using a download cache speeds up image builds.

Including this element in an image build causes
$HOME/.cache/image-create/pip to be bind mounted as /tmp/pip inside
the image build chroot.  The $PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE environment variable
is then defined as /tmp/pip, which causes pip to cache all downloads
to the defined location.

Note that pip and its use of $PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE is not concurrency
safe.  Running multiple instances of diskimage-builder concurrently
can cause issues.  Therefore, it is advised to only have one instance
of diskimage-builder that includes the pip-cache element running at a
time.

The pip concurrency issue is being tracked upstream at
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1141
