Ian Wienand 2a14088eac containerfile: automatically search for distro docker files
This makes the container file element search the active element list
for `containerfiles/${DIB_RELEASE}` for building.  This makes it easy
to write wrappers for ubuntu/fedora/etc. containerfile elements.

=============
containerfile
=============
Base element for creating images from container files (aka
Dockerfiles).
Usually this element will be called via a more specific distro element
which provides an environment for building a full image. This element
will search active elements for a container file located in
`containerfiles/${DIB_RELEASE}`.
Alternatively, to use this element directly supply the path to a
container file in the environment variable `DIB_CONTAINER_FILE`.
