Jesse Pretorius 30493f7655 Move common ubuntu environment setting to ubuntu-common element
The ubuntu, and ubuntu-minimal elements both make use of a common set
of environment settings to determine the distribution name.

The ubuntu-minimal element also does a few extra things which would
appear to apply to both sets and bring in extra architecture support.
As such, these are included in the common element.

This intends to be part of a series of patches which will eventually
create a new element to build a minimal ubuntu-systemd-container
element which can be used for lxc/nspawn containers.

==============
ubuntu-minimal
==============

The ``ubuntu-minimal`` element uses debootstrap for generating a
minimal image. In contrast the ``ubuntu`` element uses the cloud-image
as the initial base.

By default this element creates the latest LTS release.  The exact
setting can be found in the element's ``environment.d`` directory in
the variable ``DIB_RELEASE``.  If a different release of Ubuntu should
be created, the variable ``DIB_RELEASE`` can be set appropriately.

Note that this element installs ``systemd-sysv`` as the init system for
18.04+.
