urllib3 has a retry system that send the request again when the
connection fails, times out, is redircted, etc. This turns off retries,
which aren't very useful anyway.

At least in our CI, the default place to store VM runtime overlays
(testvm.get_temp_dir()) points to a tmpfs file, so that tests can put VM
overlays into RAM and are not affected by slow I/O. But that doesn't
work for composer, as it tends to produce huge overlays due to real-life
OS composed trees.
Use /var/tmp/ instead, which is meant for large files.
Also simplify the VirtMachine invocation -- if `identity_file` is None,
that's fine -- it's the default value of that argument anyway.

In order to enable testing on rel-eng images, it's necessary to properly
change the way lorax-composer packages are installed (in Makefile and
vm.install script).
Related: rhbz#1810711
The same change has been made in the live ISO test, so keep this change uniform
also in the test_repos_sanity.sh test and vm.install script.

It's not possible anymore to use latest-RHEL-$major in the URLs, it's necessary
to also supply the minor version for rel-eng composes. Also the URL structure
had to be updated due to changes on the download servers.

Adding only rel-eng optional repo for live-iso can cause
broken dependencies if the base repo (nightly) contains
packages in newer versions than what is required by packages
in optional repo.
A better way in the live-iso test is to add a rel-eng or
nightly optional repo based on the already existing repos.

Running lorax-composer --no-system-repos will prevent it from copying
the yum repositories from /etc/yum.repos.d/ into the lorax-composer repo
directory. It will *only* use repositories setup using the sources api
or written to /var/lib/lorax/composer/repos.d/
If lorax-composer has previously been run without this switch the system
repos will need to be removed from the composer/repos.d/ directory. It
would also be a good idea to remove the cached metadata in
/var/tmp/composer/

This change is needed for VMWare testing due to changes in the storage,
and the datastore we used before is not available for the time being.

Anaconda doesn't download the filelists or 'other' metadata, which can
add a significant amount of space to the metadata cache on the build
host. So to estimate the amount of space needed by Anaconda exclude the
space used by *filelists* and *other* files.
With these changes the lorax-composer estimate should actually be fairly
accurate. But since Anaconda only uses the installedsize * 1.35 we have
to make sure that the size we use is at least as big as what anaconda
will estimate, otherwise the installation will fail.
Resolves: rhbz#1761337
anaconda moves the yum cache to the disk once it is partitioned, so the
downloaded rpms also consume space until the installation is finished.
Take this into account when estimating the size.
Thanks to Christophe Besson for spotting this.

In some cases it will not boot without a console, and the CI framework
defaults to using serial console. So set it on live-iso, qcow2, and the
final iso installed with liveimg.

The RHEL7 version of Anaconda only allows .service units to be used with
the kickstart services command. Update the documentation, examples, and
tests to reflect this.

when testing downstream snapshots this makes sure that
lorax-composer and composer-cli are coming from the host OS.
We also make 100% sure that there are no other repositories inside
the VM other than what has been configured on the host!
Make it possible to override where repo files are copied from by
defining the REPOS_DIR variable. By default the value is
/etc/yum.repos.d

NOTE: live-iso still fails on RHEL 7 and we've been unsuccessfull
figuring out why so skip it for now
to help with running the tests by hand on downstream snapshots.
In that scenario we want TEST_OS/VM_IMAGE to look as closely as
possibly like the snapshot that we'd like to test.

Note: use podman-docker to avoid changing tests too much. This

There's no service to be started/restarted so remove everything
related to docker service.
