Daniel Hilst eb30d2e92a fix(xcat-core): the Genesis build-root package list and payload check can only be read by evaluating shell ...

builddeb-genesis-base built its package list inline, between apt-get
update and apt-get install. A test could reach the list only by cutting
the REQUIRED_PACKAGES assignment out of the script and evaluating it.
It could not reach the choice between renamed packages (bind9-dnsutils
or dnsutils, util-linux-extra or util-linux) at all. The payload check
in verify-genesis-payload was bash, so a test could only run the script
and read its stderr.

XCAT::GenesisBuildRoot::required_packages() now returns the list for a
dpkg architecture. A code ref says which packages the release carries;
the default asks apt-cache. builddeb-genesis-base calls it at the same
point in the build and installs the same packages.

XCAT::GenesisPayload holds the mandatory-command list and the payload
check. verify-genesis-payload runs its main() and keeps the same
arguments, exit codes and messages. buildrpms.pl stages the module
beside the script. Both modules use core Perl only, because the build
root has perl-base and nothing more.
