Tiago Ilieve 4ba701cfad Add CheckAptProxy task
Check if the specified APT proxy server can be reached, informing the
user if this can't be done. That will help them to debug the errors that
will be raised by `apt-get` because of the misleading proxy
configuration.

This closes #95.

bootstrap-vz

bootstrap-vz is a bootstrapping framework for Debian. It is is specifically targeted at bootstrapping systems for virtualized environments. bootstrap-vz runs without any user intervention and generates ready-to-boot images for a number of virtualization platforms. Its aim is to provide a reproducable bootstrapping process using manifests as well as supporting a high degree of customizability through plugins.

bootstrap-vz was coded from scratch in python once the bash script architecture that was used in the build-debian-cloud bootstrapper reached its limits.

Documentation

The end-user documentation for bootstrap-vz is available at andsens.github.io/bootstrap-vz. There, you can discover what the dependencies for a specific cloud provider are, see a list of available plugins and learn how you create a manifest.
