wic: Add SourcePlugin class

Define the SourcePlugin class, which is the class that should be
subclassed to create a 'source' plugin.

'Source' plugins provide a mechanism to customize various aspects of
the image generation process in wic, mainly the contents of
partitions.

The initial version of wic defined a --source param for partitions,
which was in the first revision hard-coded to two possible values:
rootfs and bootimg.

This patch essentially removes the hard-coded --bootimg param and
replaces it with a plugin system that maps the value specified as
--source to a particular 'source' plugin instead.

A 'source' plugin is created as a subclass of SourcePlugin and the
plugin file containing it is added to scriptsl/lib/mic/plugins/source/
to make the plugin implementation available to the wic implementation.

When the wic implementation needs to invoke a partition-specific
implementation, it looks for the plugin that has the same name as the
--source param given to that partition.  For example, if the partition
is set up like this:

  part /boot --source bootimg-pcbios   ...

then the methods defined as class members of the plugin having the
matching .name class member would be used.

To be more concrete, here's the plugin definition that would match a
'--source bootimg-pcbios' usage, along with an example method that
would be called by the wic implementation when it needed to invoke an
implementation-specific partition-preparation function:

  class BootimgPcbiosPlugin(SourcePlugin):
      name = 'bootimg-pcbios'

  @classmethod
      def do_prepare_partition(self, part, ...)

If the subclass itself doesn't implement a function, a 'default'
version in a superclass will be located and used, which is why all
plugins must be derived from SourcePlugin.

This scheme is extensible - adding more hooks is a simple matter of
adding more plugin methods to SourcePlugin and derived classes.  The
code that then needs to call the plugin methods the uses
plugin.get_source_plugin_methods() to find the method(s) needed by the
call; this is done by filling up a dict with keys containing the
methon names of interest - on success, these will be filled in with
the actual methods. fPlease see the implementation for examples and
details.

Note that a source plugin need not restrict itself to methods that
apply directly to partitions - methods can also be defined for higher
level processing such as at the 'disk' level.  The
get_default_source_plugin() of DirectImageCreator allows the default
source plugin to be retrieved; by default this is set to be the same
plugin used for the /boot partition, but that can be overridden by
specifying a different --source and therefore different plugin on the
'bootloader' line.  This isn't ideal, but it avoids forcing a new
high-level object to be defined for that purpose.

Note that the '--source rootfs' param remains as its current
hard-coded value, which is just the rootfs to be used to populate the
partition - by default, that's just the value of the bitbake
ROOTFS_DIR variable (or whatever was passed in using the -r param).
Note that this also could also be overridden by creating a source
plugin using a different name; at this point, unlike with bootimg,
there's been no need to do so.
