This commit overhauls the main cobbler CLI module and adds support for

object renaming, copying, and editing -- previously only addition and
removal were supported.  This frees uses (hopefully) from the need
to hack YAML and risk damaging their configurations by rendering the
config unparseable.  It also makes "cobbler list" print out a simple
tree representation that shows the association between objects.

This also relaxes the requirements for what constitutes a kernel and initrd
filename, just in case they are named something different.  They still have
to exist.
