This is a surprisingly large change as we want to go back to
the console we were previously on after doing it. To do that we
need to know what console we were on, and to know *that*, we need
to port everything that currently uses (ctrl-)alt-fX to switch
consoles to use select_console instead.
This is primarily intended to make running setup_repos.py faster
when it has to download a lot of packages (as typing in hundreds
of package names is quite slow). But it actually makes the whole
thing faster, even when only downloading one or two packages.

It's not really a good idea to have the comments that explain
the test_flags in *every* test, because they can go stale and
then we either have to live with them being old or update them
all. Like, now. So let's just take 'em all out. There's always
a reference in the openQA and os-autoinst docs, and those get
updated faster.
More importantly, add the new `ignore_failure` flag to relevant
tests - all the tests that don't have the 'important' or
'fatal' flag at present. Upstream killed the 'important' flag
(making all tests 'important' by default), I got it replaced
with the 'ignore_failure' flag, we now need to explicitly mark
all modules we want the 'ignore_failure' behaviour for.
Summary:
This adds a couple of new exporter modules, renames main_common
to utils (this is a better name: openSUSE's main_common is
functions used in main.pm, utils is what they call their module
full of miscellaneous commonly-used functions), and moves a
bunch of utility functions that were previously needlessly
implemented as instance methods in base classes into the
exporter modules. That means we can get rid of all the annoying
$self-> syntax for calling them.
We get rid of `fedorabase` entirely, as it's no longer useful
for anything. Other base classes keep the 'standard' methods
(like `post_fail_hook`) and methods which actually need to be
methods (like `root_console`, whose behaviour is different in
anacondatest and installedtest).
Test Plan:
Do a full test suite run and check everything lines
up. There should be no functional differences from before at all,
this is just a re-org.

Summary:
The non-English tests so far did not test that graphical login
worked as expected, which is a fairly large hole. With this
change, they should do a Workstation install and test login to
both GNOME and the console works as expected. KDE is not yet
tested.
As part of this we tweak the implementation of keyboard layout
switching in graphical environments to use a generic function
in main_common which can handle both anaconda and desktops
(just GNOME at present, but should extend easily to any desktop
with a known switcher key and a visible layout indicator),
replacing the anacondatest class method. I kinda don't like that
the test has to specifically tell the function when it's in
anaconda, but I don't think I want to start experimenting with
a global 'test phase' openQA variable or anything like that at
present.
Fixes T842.
Test Plan:
Run the French and Russian install tests and check
they work as expected. Also run an English Workstation install
if you like, and make sure that didn't break. This change is
live on staging ATM, seems to work fine.
