K Jonathan Harker 7470ee26e0 zypper: fix package removal 
zypper only supports the --no-recommends option during installs, giving
the option during removals results in an error.

When setting ACTION=remove, remove --no-recommends from EXTRA_ARGS, and
set --clean-deps to also remove no-longer-needed dependencies.

Rename EXTRA_ARGS to ACTION_ARGS for increased readability.

zypper

This element provides some customizations for zypper based distributions like SLES and openSUSE. It works in a very similar way as the yum element does for yum based distributions.

Zypper is reconfigured so that it keeps downloaded packages cached 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 for caching packages since the download servers will often redirect clients to different mirrors.
