James Slagle 8175a7ef4d Reset yum configuration in post-install.d 
When using the yum element, we should reset the changes we've made to
/etc/yum.conf during post-install.d. Otherwise, this build time
configuration is propagated into booted instances.

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.
