builder: Create an install log file, and dump the full log on error.
...
This should make debugging much simpler, and also provides a
build log in the guest once it's built.

builder: Fix --format/--output-format arguments to virt-resize subcommand.
...
The 'virt-builder --format' option translates to the
'virt-resize --output-format' option, because it specifies the output
format.
On the contrary, the 'virt-resize --format' option (the input format)
is always 'raw'.

builder: Implement --hostname (set hostname of guest).
...
This also makes a minor rearrangement so that the random seed, root
password, hostname setting all happen before package installation.
This keeps these configuration changes together and means that the
packages that are installed can act differently based on hostname
(which is conceivable).
