James Slagle 7f9ebf2632 Support declarative package installs/uninstalls 
Adds a new element, package-installs, that provides an interface for
declarative package installs and uninstalls. Packages to install can be
added to an install.d/package-installs-<element-name> file. The set of
packages listed across such files are installed in a single transaction
at the beginning of install.d.

Prefacing the package name with a "-" indicates that the package should
be uninstalled at the end of the install.d phase. Again, the full set of
uninstalls are done in a single transaction.

An element providing a package-installs file should add package-installs
to its element-deps file.

README.rst

The package-installs element allows for a declarative method of installing and uninstalling packages for an image build. Adding a file under your elements install.d directory called package-installs-<element-name> will cause the list of packages in that file to be installed at the beginning of the install.d phase.

If the package name in the file starts with a "-", then that package will be removed at the end of the install.d phase.
