Monty Taylor b5bcb3b60e Add a yum-minimal element that just uses yum 
The centos-minimal approach of using rinse does not, it turns out, work
on centos. That's a bummer. It's also rather heavyweight. Instead, with
minor machinations, we can just use yum itself pointed at a chroot.

Also adding fedora-minimal element which creates a fedora image using
the new yum-minimal approach.

yum-minimal

Base element for creating minimal yum-based images.

This element is incomplete by itself, you'll want to use the centos-minimal or fedora-minimal elements to get an actual base image.

Use of this element will require 'yum' and 'yum-utils' to be installed on Ubuntu and Debian. Nothing additional is needed on Fedora or CentOS.

The DIB_OFFLINE or more specific DIB_YUMCHROOT_USE_CACHE variables can be set to prefer the use of a pre-cached root filesystem tarball.
