When a recipe is developed in a git working copy, .git administrative
database folder should be ignored, like we did with CVS and svn.

_install_and_load is slow, using cache saves time when there are many sections.

Contrary to bash, dash filters out environment variables containing
'-' characters. And for example, /bin/sh is dash on Debian.

<rebased>

Useful when recipes generate non-string values to be reused by other
recipes.

We want two identical sections at different URL to be able to produce
same signature. This is feature is useful for slapos.recipe.cmmi's
shared parts.

Rebase instructions:
- squash with "apply "Support ${:_profile_base_location_}."

Add referred parts' hash strings in __buildout_signature__, that invokes rebuild of a part when one of its (recursive) dependencies are modified.

Also remove duplicates and sort entries in __buildout_signature__.

Also, updating a part does not put it anymore at the end of the list of
installed parts, that was making .installed.cfg too big.

In SlapOS, bootstrap is called each time software release is invoked and
we do not want to delete develop-eggs directory.

This reverts commit 55d76b34.

Even though such configuration is wrong...

extends can be interpreted as inheritance in OOP, but the original
behaviour was against what is commonly (always?) seen everywhere.

It is however good practice a file extends all files it needs directly
(and only them). Then if two files A & B (possibly unrelated) extends
the same third C, A was unable to overrides C values. It was even
error-prone because someone who don't use B yet could override C values
in A and later extending B would break A.

For some of our common use cases, this new algorithm is also 9x faster
(time to annotate: ~2.3s with -> ~.29s).

Other changes:
- ~/ is now expanded for non-url extends.
- An absolute (non-url) path is not longer treated like a local path
  if the base is a url.
- Better path/url normalization.

Rebase instructions:
- squash with "Chomp ../ from beginging of filenames"
- split and apply "Support ${:_profile_base_location_}." after

Sqaushed with

Chomp ../ from beginging of filenames.

In order to have as canonical as possible paths, chomp ../ from filenames and
recalculate base.

--setuptools-version and --buildout-version options in bootstrap script still have the priority.

One big issue in commit e129e187 is that the
initial value of buildout_and_setuptools_path can cause buildout to use a lot
of CPU at startup. The following change would help:

    def buildout_and_setuptools_path():
        r = [get_python_lib(standard_lib=1)]
        for d in pkg_resources.working_set:
            d = d.location
            if d not in r:
                r.append(d)
        return r[1:]
    buildout_and_setuptools_path = buildout_and_setuptools_path()

but initializing buildout_and_setuptools_dists also takes time to compute,
and it's only used for bootstrap.

Because the commit is not required anymore since setuptools 36, it's easier
for us to revert partially, so we can keep applying our patches.

PyPI redirects HTTP to HTTPS by default now so using HTTPS directly
avoids the potential for that redirect being modified in flight,
helping prevent MITM attacks.

Fixes #114.

Fixes #326

Mainly to disable it when just trying to get distributions for
buildout and setuptools.

That I can no longer reproduce.

Fixed a bug introduced in 2.6.0:
zc.buildout and its dependeoncies were reported as picked even when
their versions were fixed in a ``versions`` section.  Worse, when the
``update-versions-file`` option was used, the ``versions`` section was
updated needlessly on every run.

Added a buildout option, ``abi-tag-eggs``

As suggested in: https://github.com/buildout/buildout/pull/325

Also simplified _setup_directories to not bother with the eggs
directory, since that's handled elsewhere.
