We do this in quite a few places and need to do it in another,
so let's just have a function for it. It takes a file glob
so we can have it run on a different one for _live_build.

The reason we have all this horrible code to use the commented-
out baseurl lines in the repo files instead of the metalinks
that are usually used is a timing issue with the metalink
system. As a protection against stale mirrors, the metalink
system sends the package manager a list of mirrors *and a list
of recent checksums for the repo metadata*. The package manager
goes out and gets the metadata from the first mirror on the
list, then checksums it; if the checksum isn't on the list of
checksums it got from mirrormanager, it assumes that means the
mirror is stale, and tries the next on the list instead.
The problem is that MM's list of checksums is currently only
updated once an hour (by a cron job). So we kept running into
a problem where, when a test ran just after one of the repos
had been regenerated, the infra mirror it's supposed to use
would be rejected because the checksum wasn't on the list - but
not because the mirror was stale, but because it was too fresh,
it had got the new packages and metadata but mirrormanager's
list of checksums hadn't been updated to include the checksum
for the latest metadata.
All this baseurl munging code was getting ridiculous, though,
what with the tests getting more complicated and errors showing
up in the actual repo files and stuff. It occurred to me that
instead of using the baseurl we can just use the 'mirrorlist'
system instead of 'metalink'. mirrorlist is the dumber, older
system which just provides the package manager a list of mirrors
and nothing else - the whole stale-mirror-detection-checksum
thing does not happen with mirrorlists, the package manager just
tries all the mirrors in order and uses the first that works.
And happily, it's very easy to convert the metalink URLs into
mirrorlist URLs, and it saves all that faffing around trying to
fix up baseurls.
Also, adjust upgrade_boot to do the s/metalink/mirrorlist/
substitution, so upgrade tests don't run into the timing issue
in the steps before the main repo_setup run is done by
upgrade_run, and adjust repo_setup_compose to sub this line out
later.

Summary:
This adds an upgrade variant of the FreeIPA tests, with only
the simplest client enrolment (sssd) for now. The server test
starts from the N-1 release and deploys the domain controller
role. The client test similarly starts from the N-1 release
and, when the server is deployed, enrols as a domain client.
Then the server upgrades itself, while the client waits (as the
server is its name server). Then the client upgrades itself,
while the server does some self-checks. The server then waits
for the client to do its checks before decommissioning itself,
as usual. So, summary: *deployment* of both server and client
occurs on N-1, then both are upgraded, then the actual *checks*
occur on N.
In my testing, this all more or less works, except the role
decommission step fails. This failure seems to be a genuine one
so far as I can tell; I intend to file a bug for it soon.
Test Plan:
Run the new tests, check they work. Run the existing
FreeIPA tests (both the compose and the update variants), check
they both behave the same.
