Ben Nemec 3b77e1b3c5 Add RHEL 7 image element
This is being added as a separate element because RHEL 7 is too
different from either RHEL 6 or Fedora to share all of the
configuration they do.  It uses the redhat-common element for
pieces that are duplicated.

Some current limitations of the element:
-RHEL 7 is currently still in beta, so final image locations are
 not available.  This currently defaults to the RHEL 6.5 image,
 but that will need to be overridden using the DIB_* env vars.
-There are additional tripleo-image-elements changes that will be
 needed to be able to use this for building tripleo images.
-Open vSwitch packages are not currently available in the official
 RHEL 7 repos.
-RHEL does not support qemu without kvm acceleration, so at this
 time it cannot be used as a compute node for virtualized testing.

Use RHEL 7 cloud images as the baseline for built disk images.
Note: As of this writing, RHEL 7 is still in beta, so final download
locations are not available. This element defaults to using the RHEL 6.5
image, but that will need to be overridden using the appropriate DIB_*
environment variables to point at a RHEL 7 image.
For further details see the redhat-common README.
