Dan Prince 022cb2c1c2 Support installing packages by default
Adds new disk-image-create --install-type option which
can be used to enable alternate install types. The
default install type is 'source'.

The motivation is to eliminate elements like
enable-package-installs which require coupling and also
don't work with elements in multiple element repositories.

This patch does not prevent you from using the previous
DIB_INSTALLTYPE_ variables to customize the install type,
rather it just changes the default so you don't have to
set it so often when using things like packages.

This is the base element.

Almost all users will want to include this in their disk image build, as it includes a lot of useful functionality.

Notes:

  • If you are getting warnings during the build about your locale being missing, consider installing/generating the relevant locale. This may be as simple as having language-pack-XX installed in the pre-install stage

  • This element ensures /tmp/ccache will be available in the chroot during the root, extra-data, pre-install, install and post-install stages. /tmp/ccache is unavailable during block-device, finalise and cleanup stages as it will have been automatically unmounted by then.
