As discussed in [#335], the `validate_manifest` method checks the manifest's
internal consistency. The validation phase, on the other hand, can be used to
check the consistency of the manifest with external ressources, for instance:
- Checking if files or directories exist.
- Checking if the content of a file is consistent with what was expected.
- Checking if a network ressource (an APT proxy?) is reachable.

The way boot options for linux and config params for grub
were configured gave rise to quite a few bugs.
The configuration has now been abstracted so that
options can be added without interfering with the work
of other tasks (no more sed_i!)
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.

This needed changing to hvc0 for ec2, and was accidentally changed
for all other providers. Since the ec2 provider overrides to hvc0
anyway, we can just change this default to the setting that works
for everyone else.
Fixes: #318

Starting in version 2016a-1 (circa Jan 2016) the package tzdata
changed /etc/timezone into a symlink. This change is in unstable,
testing, and will be in the next release (stretch). This commit checks
the release, and creates a task to either copy the contents of the
zoneinfo file (jessie and older) or create a symbolic link (newer than
jessie).

This is an attempt to fix issue #237
The script "growpart" was added as an asset, because
Debian's Jessie version (inside cloud-utils) package is
outdated and buggy.
Then "expand-root" init script was modified to call growpart
before calling resize2fs. In fact, calling resize2fs without
resizing the partition first is useless.
The task was named 'AddWorkaroundGrowpart' because it must
go away in the future in favor of using recent stuff in cloud-utils.
Currently even the official images suffer this issue, that makes
the system use only 8 GiB, even if the user chooses a bigger
storage size inside AWS.
All provider specific settings have been moved to the
provider section. The image name itself is now located
at the top level and called "name". It is required for all providers.
