Ian Wienand 8662297517 Deprecate dib-python; remove from in-tree elements
We are at the point that all distributions we are building have Python
3, so any tools running in the chroot can assume Python 3 exists.
This makes dib-python redundant; mark it as deprecated and start to
remove it from elements where it is no longer required.

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+.
