This effectively reverts 97618193 - but had to be done manually
and adjusted to maintain support for testing side tags and for
testing multiple tasks, since those features were added since
the update ISO change.
The 'scheduler injects ISOs of packages into the tests' approach
was intended to speed things up, especially for large updates,
and it did, but it had a few drawbacks. It means restarting
older tests from the web UI doesn't work as the ISOs get garbage
collected (you have to re-schedule in this case). And it has the
rather large problem that you can now only schedule tests from
the openQA server (or at least a machine with the openQA asset
share mounted), because the package download and ISO creation
just happen wherever the scheduler is running and assume that
the openQA asset share that will be used by the tests is at
/var/lib/openqa/share in that filesystem.
That's too big of a drawback to continue with this approach, IMO,
so this reverts back to the old way of doing things, with a bit
of refactoring to clean up the flow a little, and with support
for testing side tags and multiple tasks maintained.
As a follow-up I'm going to see if I can replace
_download_packages with a much more efficient downloader script
to mitigate the time this process takes on each test, especially
for large updates.

We drop the line for the update ISO from /etc/fstab before
uploading the image after the cockpit_default test, but we don't
make sure it's set up again before Cockpit tries to use it, in
the subsequent Cockpit tests. I don't know why this didn't fail
on stg before, but it sure as hell is failing in prod...

This branch is very fragile, because the test won't fail if we
miss the match on the security needle. So in practice, we are
never going to notice when the needle goes stale, and we'll just
wind up never triggering this branch and always going down the
other path. That's the current situation: the security_install
needle last matched more than a year ago at least. Let's just
admit the truth here and drop the branch entirely.
Also update the cockpit_updates_restart_ignore needle. This is
in a similar case - we don't really notice when it goes stale,
as the test completes, it just takes a bit longer - but since
this one is quite easy to find, let's just update it instead of
dropping it.

There's one point in the tests where we may log into cockpit for
the second time in one run (it depends how a package update
process goes). When this happens, we don't get prompted again
for admin access, so we need to *not* expect that.

It seems when we quit Firefox back to a VT on ppc64le, the system
hangs. Not sure why, but we can deal with it by rebooting the
system and logging back in as root if it happens. Also take the
opportunity to clean up the flow of quit_firefox so we always
check that we get back to a console then wait 5 seconds for the
console to settle, so all the tests that call it can stop doing
that.

Behaviour changed a bit in Cockpit 238, we may now just hit
success during this loop, so handle that. Also use 'break' for
the other two cases, not a big run counter bump.

* server-cockpit-updates tests that Cockpit can be used to update the system.
* server-cockpit-autoupdate tests that users can use dnf-automatic for system
updates.
* cockpit functions were removed from utils.pm and put into an extra library
for cockpit - cockpit.pm which all cockpit tests are now using.
Review cockpit.pm
Review autoupdate test.
Review the update test.
Fix typo in cockpit.pm
Add sleep.
Add missing command.
Delete an unused needle.
