Dmitry Tantsur fd1848282f Remove the deprecated ironic-agent element
Despite having several issues (like missing firmware), it is still
used by people. It seems that the only way to stop that is to remove it.

Ian Wienand dcbb7e7ebb ironic-agent: don't remove make
It turns out make has always been a tacit dependency of openssl as it
ships a Makefile for certificates [1].  This just recently changed to
be a hard dependency in F27, so this now fails as openssl is a
dependency of protected packages such as dnf.  Since it's always been
wrong to remove it, we take it out of the purge list.

Ian Wienand 5089e4e541 Move setfiles to outside chroot with runcon
As described in the comments inline, on a selinux enabled kernel (such
as a centos build host) you need to have permissions to change the
contexts to those the kernel doesn't understand -- such as when you're
building a fedora image.

For some reason, setfiles has an arbitrary limit of 10 errors before
it stops.  I believe we previously had 9 errors (this mean 9
mis-labeled files, which were just waiting to cause problems).
Something changed with F26 setfiles and it started erroring
immediately, which lead to investigation.  Infra builds, on
non-selinux Ubuntu kernel's, would not have hit this issue.

This means we need to move this to run with a manual chroot into the
image under restorecon.

I'm really not sure why ironic-agent removes all the selinux tools
from the image, it seems like an over-optimisation (it's been like
that since Id6333ca5d99716ccad75ea1964896acf371fa72a).  Keep them so
we can run the relabel.

Ian Wienand 97c01e48ed Move elements & lib relative to diskimage_builder package
Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level
directory and install them into
<root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either /
or the root of a virtualenv).

The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e)
do *not* install data_files.  Thus we have no canonical location to
look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a
whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a
special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python
unit tests on those elements that have it.

data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially
assets of the program.  data_files install works well for things like
config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files.

By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always
know where they are relative to where we import from.  In fact,
pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new
diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1].

We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we
need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the
library shell functions.

Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which
we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more.
They just get found automatically by the normal subunit loader.

I have a follow-on change (I69ca3d26fede0506a6353c077c69f735c8d84d28)
to move disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point.

Unfortunately, this has to move to work with setuptools.  You'd think
a symlink under diskimage_builder/[elements|lib] would work, but it
doesn't.

[1] this API handles stuff like getting files out of .zip archive
modules, which we don't do.  Essentially for us it's returning
__file__.
