Andreas Florath fdd2c4b236 Semi-automatic doc generation of element dependency

Currently there is no description of dependencies in the generated
documentation of the elements: therefore a user of an element does not
know which other elements are automatically included and e.g. which
configuration options are available. In addition there are some
copy&pastes of parts of the README.rst scattered thought different
Ubuntu and Debian specific elements.

This patch adds a semi-automatic generation of dependency information
of all elements.  Nevertheless these are not automatically included.
The author of the element's README.rst can decide if and where the
dependency information should appear and can use the descriptor

.. element_deps::

for this.

This patch adds the dependency information for some Debian and
Ubuntu patches - and creates the base for later removing the
duplicated parts.

A call is added to element_dependencies._find_all_elements() to
populate reverse dependencies for Element objects.

(This is a reworking of I31d2b6050b6c46fefe37378698e9a330025db430 for
the feature/v2 branch)
