Title: Add online mode for the provisioner and experimental online-install functionality [8/10]

This pull request series add 2 new features to Crowbar:

1: Online mode for the provisioner.
This enables the provisioner to be able to update deb/rpm/gem
packages from sources on the Internet.

See README.package-updates for details on how this works and how
to enable it.

2: Experimental full online-install mode.
This leverages the infrastructure added for the provisioner to
allow for installation of an admin node starting with a basic OS
install and a checkout of the main Crowbar repository. This is
mainly useful right node for development purposes, and is under
active development. Most things work, but expect weird corner
cases.

See README.online-install for more details.
