Christian Heimes a48f6511f6 Use namespace-aware meta importer for ipaplatform
Instead of symlinks and build-time configuration the ipaplatform module
is now able to auto-detect platforms on import time. The meta importer
uses the platform 'ID' from /etc/os-releases. It falls back to 'ID_LIKE'
on platforms like CentOS, which has ID=centos and ID_LIKE="rhel fedora".

The meta importer is able to handle namespace packages and the
ipaplatform package has been turned into a namespace package in order to
support external platform specifications.

This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
geared currently towards command-line tools.

A brief overview:

config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses python-dns to
            try to detect this information first and will fall back to
            /etc/ipa/default.conf if that fails.

ipautil.py - helper functions

entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
            (but don't add anything currently).

ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
