Ian Wienand a85ce75d6b Pre-install pip/virtualenv packages
If we're installing pip/virtualenv from source, we need to make sure
we pre-install the packaged versions before the upstream
versions. Otherwise, CI jobs later on that depend on packaged versions
of pip/virtualenv can bring them in and overwrite the upstream
versions we have installed, which leads to a heck of a mess and
usually very confusing failures.

I have also moved in a small hack from system-config:install_puppet.sh
that we found was necessary when using pip versions from upstream.

Note this is not as much of an issue on Debian/Ubuntu, as they keep
their pip packages in a separate place to the system packages, so you
don't have these overwite conflicts as much.

centos-minimal

Create a minimal image based on CentOS 7.

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.

By default, DIB_YUM_MINIMAL_CREATE_INTERFACES is set to enable the creation of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth[0|1] scripts to enable DHCP on the eth0 & eth1 interfaces. If you do not have these interfaces, or if you are using something else to setup the network such as cloud-init, glean or network-manager, you would want to set this to 0.
