James Slagle 17f8bda93f package-installs for pre-install.d/post-install.d 
Packages are often also installed in both the pre-install.d and
post-install.d phases. This patch expands the package-installs element
to support declarative package support for these phases in addition to
the existing support for install.d. The actual install/uninstall logic
is moved to common scripts under bin/ so that it can be reused across
the different phases.

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