Ben Nemec 004474e93b Generalize install-packages for yum 
All of the yum-based install-packages scripts are doing essentially
the same thing, so let's use one script for all of the elements
that depend on the yum element.

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.
