Some build environments (e.g. Google Cloud Container Builder docker
images) don't have enough of a /dev filesystem to have
/dev/disk/by-uuid/ by default. Make them if they don't exist.
This allows to build an image with qcow2 as a disk backend.
The update implements a new class that inherits from QEMUVolume and just
needs the extention and file format.
Enables the use of Logical Volumes as disk backends.
It uses an existing volume group and has no support for creating a new one.
It will not override an existing logical volume and fail gracefully.
The lv is created, activated and then mounted as a loop device.
The boostraping process is then launched on the loop device.
Once the process is completed, the lv is unmounted and desactivated.
The created lv will be deleted should the boostraping process fail.
The lv must be activated before use.
A manifest has been included for testing purposes.
Up until now I didn't see the point of using spaces for indentation.
However, the previous commit (a18bec3) was quite eye opening.
Given that python is an indentation aware language, the amount of
mistakes that went unnoticed because tabs and spaces were used
at the same time (tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment)
were unacceptable.
E101,W191 have been re-enable in the tox flake8 checker and
the documentation has been modified accordingly.

Looks like we may or may not need to create those uuid links by
ourselves. This patch also adds a verification to not create/delete the
link if it already exists or not, respectively.
* force kpartx to use synchronous mode, removing sleep(10)
* get image configuration, use it during tarball creation and registration
* add (non-working, path problems) image registration
* add cleaning of image from Google keys and repositories
* add NTP server address in manifest
* add preference for backport kernels in manifest
* disable IPv6
* correctly set host name
