PlainBox SRU Demo Readiness

ZK: I've created the initial set of work items, feel free to expand on those as additional work items so that everything stays smooth and clear. Each work item should be something we can just, split large items please.

Status : 2013-03-14 (converted to YYYY-MM-DD)

zyga: Fix and land xml generator (merge request pending). Next steps, land it
sylvain: Update xml exporter to support attachments (branch ready). Next steps, propose and land
zyga: ensure that whitelists keep working with local job hack in box.py
roadmr: Come up with a way to submit results (branch in progress)
brendand: autostart package (branches in progress, issues testing package with autostart)
brendand: preseed updates (dependent on the above item)

Status: 2013-03-25:
roadmr, zyga: finish and land the c4 upload transport code
zyga: investigate problems with resources, change jobs in compatible way, write docs
brendand: finish autostart code, integrate with roadmr into the min-CI system

Status: 2013-04-22:
the CI loop needs to be converted to use packaged autostart things
the checkbox-certification stuff need to be updated to have a 'plainbox' switch on run_tests
