James Slagle 30d1668c03 Add $EXTRA_ARGS back to yum call 
This got removed accidentally in a recent consolidation of
install-packages.  Adding it back so that -d support works again.

Closes-bug: #1287142

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.
