Ian Wienand 6802cf7100 Run dib-run-parts out of /tmp
The dib-run-parts element was copying our internal version of
dib-run-parts into /usr/local/bin to be used running scripts inside
the target chroot.  However, it never cleaned up after itself.  This
means all images were left with an unmanaged local install of
dib-run-parts.

This copies dib-run-parts into the hooks directory of the chroot and
runs it from there.  It is cleaned up automatically on the exit path.

The dib-run-parts element is no longer required and it has been
removed from all dependencies.  It is left with a deprecation notice
in the README.  For compatability we convert it to simply install
dib-utils.

Codesearch shows no users depending on this unintentional implicit
install.  Note os-refresh-config depends on dib-utils and thus will
have an explicitly installed version.

.. warning::
This element is deprecated and is left only for compatability.
Please read the notes.
This element install the ``dib-utils`` package to provide
``dib-run-parts``.
Previously this element was a part of most base images and copied the
internal version of ``dib-run-parts`` to ``/usr/local/bin`` during the
build. Due to a (longstanding) oversight this was never removed and
stayed in the final image. The image build process now uses a private
copy of ``dib-run-parts`` during the build, so this element has become
deprecated.
For compatability this element simply installs the ``dib-utils``
package, which will provide ``dib-run-parts``. However, this is
probably better expressed as a dependency in individual elements.
