Ian Wienand a00d02f6a1 Remove centos and rhel elements
Several people have popped up in IRC recently with failures in these
elements.  Without Python 2.7 available in the image they are
unsupported (OpenStack hasn't supported it for a long time).  Remove
these to avoid further confusion.

The centos/centos7 DISTRO split that has happened with centos-minimal
is unfortunate but I don't think it helps to rename centos7/rhel7 ATM.
To summarise; DISTRO=centos7 means image based build,
DISTRO=centos && DIB_RELEASE=7 means the minimal build.

In the future, I think it is important that the minimal builds and
image builds set the same DISTRO.  This reflects that "upper" layers
shouldn't care about the exact building of the lower layers.  I see
CentOS 8 going one of two ways

1) the changes are so significant, we start separate centos8 /
centos8-minimal elements.  They both set DISTRO=centos8 (and
DIB_RELEASE to point-release maybe?).  This means we have to update
all "if DISTRO == centos || DISTRO == centos7" branches to also check
for "centos8".  Evenually (!)  "centos" goes away for versioned DISTRO
only

2) we restore centos element with DISTRO=centos and DIB_RELEASE=8, and
centos-minimal remains the same.  This means we have to audit all "if
DISTRO == centos" calls to make sure they're appropriate for version 8
(stick a "&& DIB_RELEASE=7" on them all basically).

I'm not sure we can fully decide until we start to see excatly how the
distro switching/matching bits look, but (2) is consistent with Ubuntu
and probably the preferred solution.

Some "rhel" parts have been cleaned up.  More could be done in
rhel-common, but given our lack of coverage of that I'd prefer to
leave it for now.

Image building tools for OpenStack

diskimage-builder is a flexible suite of components for building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for use with OpenStack.

This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.

For example:

$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu

will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2 image.

diskimage-builder is useful to anyone looking to produce customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the components of TripleO that are responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool. Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
