Ian Wienand 995c539491 Revert "Revert "Pre-install pip/virtualenv packages""
This reverts commit a645fa4ffb.

It is really devstack causing problems here; it was removing the
python-virtualenv package & re-installing using pip (see depends-on).
This failed because the pip-install we did here removed the egg-file
that rpm expected to be there, so rpm bailed out on the removal.

But even if it worked, this just leads you back down the path of the
original problem; that the system packaged version can be re-installed
and overwrites the pip installed version.  Thus I still believe this
is the correct thing to do in the dib element.

Note it is not a common problem (devstack aside); most jobs don't
touch python-virtualenv & related packages (the one we did notice this
on was being brought over from travisci where it was required for some
reason).

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.
