Trying to include version info by adding the directory name to VM image
names didn't work and a better solution is for build_image to write out
a version.txt file. This should also fix an issue where uploading from
image_to_vm.sh didn't always go to the same location as the images
uploaded from build_image did.
Enable sparse files for all dd and cp commands and replace some dd
commands that are really better off being truncate commands.
While in the neighborhood there were a number of useless sudo commands
for things that just happen to be in sbin. Call them directly instead.
Last minute bug slipped in because of a line I commented out since the
current coreos kernel doesn't support virtio block devices (that change
coming soon). Qemu doesn't tolerate any spaces before # in comments.
The old script was heading towards spaghetti code realm. This breaks up
all the image variations such as hybrid MBR, OEM packages, etc into
configuration options and small functions that actually do the work.
All this is in the new vm_image_util.sh library but the command line
parsing and overall procedure remains in image_to_vm.sh
As part of this we gain support for putting some qemu options in a
config file as well as Xen virtual machines using pygrub and pvgrub.
Lots of generally unused options have been removed to simplify things
and keep output file names consistent.
