Andreas Florath e4e23897a1 Refactor: block-device filesystem creation, mount and fstab 
This patch finalizes the block device refactoring.  It moves the three
remaining levels (filesystem creation, mount and fstab handling) into
the new python module.

Now it is possible to use any number of disk images, any number of
partitions and used them mounted to different directories.

Notes:

 * unmount_dir : modified to only unmount the subdirs mounted by
   mount_proc_sys_dev().  dib-block-device unmounts
   $TMP_MOUNT_PATH/mnt (see I85e01f3898d3c043071de5fad82307cb091a64a9)

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.
