Functions in lib.pm (i.e. run_dpkg(), run_rpm() and friends) also get
an ExecContext-type parameter. Use them in lib/distros/*/Distro.

The code below lib.distro, as left behind by the previous commit, is
geared towards being directly used as a command-line API. This commit
introduces the abstract base class Distro, a proxy for
distribution-specific interactions. The proxy abstracts distro
specifics into an API with proper method prototypes, not
argparse.Namespace contents, and can thus be more easily driven by
arbitrary code.
The Distro class is initialized with a member variable of type
ExecContext, another new class introduced by this commit. It is
designed to abstract the communication channel to the distribution
instance. Currently only one specialization exists, Local, which
interacts with the distribution and root file system it is running
in, but is planned to be subclassed to support interaction via SSH,
serial, chroot, or chains thereof.

Functions abstracting the distribution are not only needed in the
context of the distro subcommand, but also by other code, so make the
bulk of the code abstracting the distribution available in some place
more universally useful than below cmds.distro.
This commit leaves the source files mostly unchanged. They are only
patched to fix import paths, so that functionality is preserved.
Refactoring the code from command-line API to library API will be
done by the next commit.
