Generalize filesystem autorelabeling enforcement

Autorelabeling is needed by all redhat derived OSs, not just fedora.
Also, rename filesystem_check routine to epilogue

Insert a new BOOT variable in common.sh

This variable instructs ganeti-instance-image wheather or not to create
a boot partition in the instance creation process.

Fixed support for recent Fedora images

Fixed a bug in the common.sh where the presence or absence of
`lsb_release' program inside the image was not properly detected.

Forced filesystem relabeling in the initial boot of a Fedora image.
This is needed by SELinux in recent Fedora releases, because in any other...

Ticket #4785: Set cache file to /dev/null to disable caching with blkid

We've had a constant problem with blkid not returning anything and thus erroring
out installs/reinstalls, etc. It was discovered that it cached this content by
default which was the root cause. Hopefully this will resolve that issue.

Initial commit to extend ganeti-instance-image

Ganeti Instance Image will be extended to support
Ganeti OS Interface v20. The scope is to have an OS provider
that takes OS parameters from Ganeti and then uses them to customize
the Image creation process. The initial commit includes:...

Reduce normal commands output by redirecting to /dev/null

Much of the commands we run (i.e. mkfs, mkswap, sfdisk) produce output that
isn't really needed.

Ticket #669: set CDINSTALL=no for default behaviour

Ticket #219: Add NOMOUNT option to allow Windows install

Use included patch but extend to import, export, and rename scripts. For now
rename does nothing since we have no way of knowing what the image might be
(windows, linux, etc).

Ticket #1749: Fix IMAGE_DEBUG to accept "yes" for enabling the feature

Change the customization directory

Align with other upstream packages. See commit f79e471d in instance-debootstrap
for more explaination.

sync filesystems prior to umounting

There's an annoying upstream bug with ext4 currently that makes umount's take a
long time to complete [1]. Its also good practice to do this anyways.

Add ability to set the filesystem to either ext3 or ext4

fix typo

deal with serial in karmic since it works differently

fix sed command

Use lsb_release inside of a chroot of the VM

Add missing $target in setup_fstab for get_os_type

Add get_os and get_os_release functions, refacter get_os_type

get_os:
Returns the exact operating system

get_os_release:
Returns the release of the operating system

Switch get_os_type to use an argument for the target location and also ensure
that it gets checked.

Fix dynamic partition to use its own function

I discovered that bash wasn't setting the environment variables correctly and
realized I need to refactor how I do this. Now I have a map_partition to figure
out the exact path for a specific partition.

NOTE: fstabs are currently broken because of this addition

Add optional support for no /boot partition

Allow for more flexibility for which partitions you need or what. It will allow
for four different partition layouts depending on whether you want a swap
partition or booting a kernel outside of the VM.

Also merge the partition mapping for root_dev, boot_dev, & swap_dev entirely...

Make regex more clear and only do this on the end of the string

Add VOL_ID and VOL_TYPE back for export

Move OS detection to common.sh to make it portable for other scripts

Also refactor how we use it in interfaces

Create IMAGE_DEBUG variable to enable debugging output

DEBUG_LEVEL isn't working yet in ganeti [1], so lets add an option so we can at
least use something.

[1] http://groups.google.com/group/ganeti/browse_thread/thread/948ec6705ae69798

Make it optional whether to create and use a swap partition

Refactor grub install into a custom script

We only need to use grub for tarball based installs since images should include
a disk with grub already installed.

allow for the location of IMAGE_DIR to be changed by the user

Check to make sure the first partition exists

Add --with-defaults-dir option

Some distros don't use /etc/defaults

Format the 3 volumes and mount them correctly

Add basic support for installing via a CD

Check for various important programs and set variables for them
