Add fifloader tests, template schemas, update README

This adds a test suite for fifloader (renamed fifloader.py for
test sanity). It adds JSON Schema form schemas for both FIF and
upstream openQA template data, and has fifloader (optionally,
but by default) validate both input and output data against the
schemas. It also adds a tox.ini configured to run the fifloader
tests, use fifloader to validate the template files, and do diff
coverage and lint checks. It also adjusts the Zuul config to run
tox instead of the test job.

There are also some pylint cleanups, since the new tests run
pylint.

fifcheck, fifconverter and tojson.pm are removed, as they were
mainly only needed for one-time conversion of the old format
templates; now they are in the git history we can always recover
them if we need them.

Along with all this I updated the README a bit to explain some
of it (and explain FIF better), and to explicitly state that this
repo is GPLv2+ licensed, and added GPL headers to some of the
files.

 This repository contains tests and images for testing [Fedora](https://getfedora.org/) with [openQA](http://os-autoinst.github.io/openQA/). The [fedora_openqa library and CLI](https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/fedora_openqa) are used for scheduling tests, and [createhdds](https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/createhdds) is used for creating base disk images for the test. For openQA installation instructions, see [the Fedora openQA wiki page](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA).

 [Issues](https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/issues) and [pull requests](https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/pull-requests) are tracked in [os-autoinst-distri-fedora Pagure](https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora). Pagure uses a Github-like pull request workflow, so if you're familiar with that, you can easily submit Pagure pull requests. If not, you can read up in the [Pagure documentation](https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/usage/index.html).
 
-Note that this repository does not use the 'gitflow' system, so the main development branch is `master`: please branch from `master` and submit diffs against it. This is not a Python repository and has no tests or linting.
+## Requirements
+
+Obviously, this repository is little use without access to an openQA installation. To load templates from this repository, you will need the upstream client tools (packaged as `openqa-client` in Fedora) and the dependencies of `fifloader.py` (see below for more on this tool) installed. Those dependencies are Python 3 and the `jsonschema` library. For running the unit tests, you will additionally need `pytest` and `tox`.

+### FIF template format
+
+The test templates in this repository (files ending in `fif.json`) are not in the same format as expected by and are not directly compatible with the upstream template loader. They are in a format referred to as 'FIF' ('Fedora Intermediate Format') which is parsed into the upstream format by the `fifloader.py` utility found in this repository. This format is intended to be more convenient for human reading and editing. It is more fully explained in the docstring at the top of `fifloader.py`. Please refer to this when adding new tests to the templates. A command like `./fifloader.py --load templates.fif.json templates-updates.fif.json` can be used to load templates in the FIF format (this converts them to the upstream format, and calls the upstream template loader on the converted data). See `./fifloader.py -h` for further details on `fifloader.py`.

 ### main.pm modular architecture
 
 Since openQA uses only one entrypoint for all tests (main.pm), we have decided to utilize this feature and make tests modular. It means that basic passing through main.pm (without any variables set) results in most basic installation test executed. Developer can customize it with additional variables (for example by setting `PACKAGE_SET=minimal` to do installation only with minimal package set).

-This script takes JSON-formatted openQA template data (in the older format with a JobTemplates

-unique 'environment profiles' - a combination of machine and product - from the JobTemplates and
-stores them in a 'Profiles' dict; it then adds a 'profiles' key to each test suite, indicating
-which profiles that suite is run on. It is fairly easy to reverse this process to reproduce the
-openQA loader-compatible data, but the intermediate format is more friendly to a human editor.
-Adding a new test suite to run on existing 'profiles' only requires adding the suite and an

-manually adding the profile to the Profiles dict, and then adding the profile to all the test

+# FIF and openQA template schemas
+
+This directory contains [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/) format schemas for the FIF and
+upstream openQA template data formats. `fif-complete.json` and `fif-incomplete.json` are the FIF
+schemas; `openqa-complete.json` and `openqa-incomplete.json` are the upstream schemas. The
+'complete' schemas expect the input to contain a *complete* set of template data (enough for an
+openQA instance to schedule and run tests); the *incomplete* schemas expect the input to contain
+only *some* valid template data (these may be files that will be combined into complete data, or
+files intended to be loaded without `--clean` only as supplementary data to an openQA deployment
+with existing data). The other files are subcomponents of the schemas that are loaded by reference.
