Ian Wienand 8662297517 Deprecate dib-python; remove from in-tree elements 
We are at the point that all distributions we are building have Python
3, so any tools running in the chroot can assume Python 3 exists.
This makes dib-python redundant; mark it as deprecated and start to
remove it from elements where it is no longer required.

dracut-regenerate

Adds the possibility of regenerating dracut on image build time, giving the possibility to load extra modules. It relies on the DIB_DRACUT_ENABLED_MODULES setting, that will accept a yaml blob with the following format:

- name: <module1>
  packages:
    - <package1>
    - <package2>
- name: <module2>
  packages:
    - <package3>
    - <package4>

By default, this element will bring lvm and crypt modules.

Also adds the ability to copy specific files into /etc/dracut.conf.d directory to allow any dracut settings to be configured. To achieve that the files to be copied need to be placed inside an specific dracut.d directory of the element.
