Gregory Haynes 5da7574aee Add get_elements; preserve backwards compat for expand_dependencies
expand_dependencies() was a public interface so we should try and
preserve backwards compat. However, since the interface is really
broken, add a new exported function "get_elements" that instack can
switch to.  This returns the canonical list of elements without
duplicates, and gives the path to each element too.

This highlighted that the unit tests were really a bit wrong.  They're
testing inner functions when we have an "API" in the get_elements()
function.  Convert all unit-tests to use this function instead.  Since
this is a library call, convert the sys.exit() calls to raised
exceptions.

Refactor the variable output into a separate function so we can do a
sanity check on it.

The added flake8 ignores are for the "over-indented for ... indent"
which happens a lot with these new longer lines.  Most other projects
ignore them.

This is an alternative proposal to

Image building tools for OpenStack
==================================

``diskimage-builder`` is a flexible suite of components for building a
wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for
use with OpenStack.

This repository has the core functionality for building such images,
both virtual and bare metal.  Images are composed using `elements`;
while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have
the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.

For example::

  $ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu

will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based ``qcow2`` image.

``diskimage-builder`` is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds.  These tools are the
components of `TripleO <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TripleO>`__
that are responsible for building disk images.  They are also used
extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly
with `nodepool
<http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/nodepool.html>`__.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
