This allows us to drop a lot of encoding and parsing code that was used
to transition to shell and therefore makes it easier to read and maintain.

Using python functions for more complex tasks allows us the usage of
unittests. A very basic infrastructure for unittesting using the build
in python unittest and the bb.parse module was added. This was used to
test the re-implementation of the image-account-extension as a first
showcase.

This is a rebased version of the refactoring part of the "allow creation
of users/groups before rootfs creation" patch series to decouple the
merge of the simplifications.

Tobias Schaffner (4):
  simplify image-account-extension
  create a minimal python unittest infrastructure
  add unittests for the image-account-extension
  set minimal python version in user_manual to 3.5
