Ghe Rivero 6484b9b026 Move install bin from rpm-distro to yum 
rpm-distro element was trying to install bin programs into the
image but it doesn't provide any. Move that logic into the yum
element which provides the install-packages bin.

README.md

Provide yum specific image building glue.

RHEL/Fedora/CentOS and other yum based distributions need specific yum customizations.

Customizations include caching of downloaded yum packages outside of the build chroot so that they can be reused by subsequent image builds. The cache increases image building speed when building multiple images, especially on slow connections. This is more effective than using an HTTP proxy as a yum cache since the same rpm from different mirrors is often requested.
