Bug Description

It generally doesn't make sense to continue to work around the NOPRIME comments in the package files. This was introduce to avoid installing packages into disk images that started a service at installation time.

The image building tools are somewhat out of date and of limited usability on current Ubuntu distros. I'm not ready to throw them out just yet but we can get rid of the NOPRiME handling in stack.sh by adding second optional argument to get_packages that triggers skipping the NOPRIME conditional. If done so that absence of the argument maintains current behaviour then the tools/* scripts will not have to be touched to maintain their current level of semi-brokenness.

The DevStack image tools are gone, but this concept lives on for cases of building images for Docker and similar environments. NOPRIME itself, while poorly named, stays.
