Steve Baker 5f55ee2bd1 Add scripts tripleo-mount-image, tripleo-unmount-image
Now that the whole-disk image is being deployed, mounting an image
using tools like kpartx or qemu-nbd is much more involved, requiring
knowledge of the image LVM volumes and their intended mount points.

The scripts tripleo-mount-image and tripleo-unmount-image will mount
the contents of an overcloud image file using qemu-nbd, making it available
for chroot, or other read/write image operations. The scripts handle
partition images (overcloud-full.qcow2) as well as the whole-disk image
(overcloud-hardened-uefi-full.qcow2) with its multiple LVM volume mount
points.

qemu-nbd was chosen over kpartx as downstream documentation[1] has
standardized on this tool for mount based image modifications.

tripleo-unmount-image is a symlink to tripleo-mount-image and behaves
differently based on the script name.

Blueprint: whole-disk-default
