Albert Hopkins c9a81d2806 The great systemd commit.
This change converts the appliances from openrc to systemd.  In addition,
systemd needs to at least be be installed on the build machine as we now
use systemd-nspawn instead of chroot/bind mounts do to the fact that
systemd-nspawn is much more robust and lese prone to errors.  In addition:

* All stage4 tarballs and images are now stored in the images/ directory by
  default.

* A package dir is now required and is set up in the packages/ directory by
  default.

* The portage directory is not unpacked in the chroot every time anymore
  and is instead bind-mounted from a directory by systemd-nspawn.  This is
  the portage/ directory by default.

* In addition there is a distfiles/ directory (by default) which is
  bind-mounted in the chroot.  It does what you'd probably expect.

* The Makefile learned new target, eclean, which will run eclean-dist and
  eclean-pkg to clean out obsolete distfiles and binary packages.

* The REMOVE_PORTAGE_TREE option is removed as portage is no longer
  installed.

* The unused/untested PRUNE_CRITICAL functionality has been removed.  I
  have no idea if it worked and if it didn't I didn't want to fix it.

* As appliances are always using systemd, UDEV is no longer optional.

* Timezones and hostnames are now handled by systemd (systemd-firstboot).

* Stage4 tarballs are now directly importable as systemd containers (and
  probably docker too though I haven't tested that yet).

* A number of packages (for example dhcpd, acpid) have been removed from the
  appliances when systemd provides equivalent functionality.

* We no longer override etc-update.conf.  There's no reason.

* A number of Makefile targets, checkpoints, temp files, etc have been
  removed as they are no longer needed.
