KIWI plugin to provide self contained build support

Description

The KIWI boxed plugin provides support for self contained building of images based on fast booting VM images.

Specifically, this plugin adds the `system boxbuild` subcommand to KIWI as an alternative to the `system build` subcommand. This command downloads a prebuilt VM image and runs the given KIWI command line inside the VM. The operating system powering the VM image can be selected using the `--box` argument. The plugin then runs `kiwi system build` inside the VM with all arguments that are passed to the `kiwi system boxbuild` command after the `--` sequence.

Example: kiwi system boxbuild --box ubuntu -- <standard KIWI build arguments>

The boxbuild process requires either `qemu-system-x86` or `qemu-system-arm`, depending on which target architecture is being built.
