Move all build and install tasks to setup.py

In an effort to distribute kiwi on pypi it should not be
required to call make targets for a complete installation.
Therefore the compilation of the C tools as well as the
installation of the man pages and the bash completion
has been added to setup.py. The spec file to build an rpm
package has been changed to use setup.py exclusively

KIWI - tools

this directory contains helper scripts and programs around the kiwi image technology. If you need them in your image just set the package kiwi-tools in your config.xml file

/usr/bin/startshell

small tool to run a shell on a specified console. Most often used in initrd images for providing shell access while init is not called
/usr/bin/setctsid

set controlling terminal in rescue shell for systems without systemd
/usr/bin/utimer

run a timer process like the kernel
/usr/bin/kversion

extract kernel version information from kernel image
/usr/bin/driveready

small tool to check the sense code of a CD/DVD drive. The tool can be used to wait for the drive to be ready for mounting
/usr/bin/dcounter

a small program to count bytes on a transfer so that you can show a progress information about the transfer
/usr/bin/isconsole

a small program sending the KDGETMODE ioctl to /dev/console in order to check if we can fbiterm on that console
/usr/bin/livestick

a script to create a livestick from a kiwi generated iso image. The advantage of livestick compared to a simple dd of the iso to the stick is, that livestick preserves the data on the stick and does not destroy existing infrastructure. livestick is installed as part of the kiwi main package and is not part of the kiwi-tools package
/usr/bin/kiwicompat

Allows to call kiwi using the commandline syntax of the kiwi v7 version
