The 'universal' flavor has been kinda pointless for some time
now. It dates back to the earliest days of openQA, before Pungi
4 was a thing, when composes were very different; we only built
a boot.iso and some live images nightly for Rawhide, these
weren't even formally grouped as a 'compose' at all (fedfind had
to invent the concept). The TCs/RCs had DVD installer images
(not *Server* DVD, at the time, just a universal DVD installer).
We wanted to run some tests on the DVD image if it was available,
but we still wanted to run them for the nightlies, so we invented
a whole mechanism for that - this 'universal' flavor, with some
complicated logic in fedora_openqa which schedules universal on
the 'best available' image it can find in the compose.
All this is functionally obsolete now. All composes we test are
now run through Pungi (except the live respins, but they aren't
relevant here). In current config, the Server DVD is non-failable
on x86_64 and aarch64, which means it will *always be there* -
if it fails to build, the compose itself fails, so we won't test
it. It's failable for ppc64le, but we don't care that much about
ppc64le; I'm fine with these tests just not running if the Server
DVD happens to fail in a ppc64le compose.
As a cherry on top, some of the 'universal' tests aren't really
universal anyway, they fail if you run them on a netinst (off
the top of my head, all the NFS install tests are like this, as
we use the ISO to populate the NFS share on the server end).
So let's just move all the tests that actually need an installer
image to the Server-dvd-iso flavor. Left over in the 'universal'
flavor are upgrade tests, which don't need an ISO at all - they
boot from hard disk images and run an upgrade using repos. We
can change the scheduler logic to be more simple for these, and
just always schedule them, with no ISO attached. We could even
rename this flavor 'upgrade', but it might not be worth it.
One slight complication is that the split happened to be helping
us avoid too many tests in a single support_server cluster; we
have a cluster of five support_server tests on Server-dvd-iso
and five support_server tests on universal. I try to avoid the
clusters getting too big as you need as many worker instances on
at least one worker host as your largest cluster; if you don't
have that many, the cluster's tests simply never get scheduled.
Requiring folks to have at least ten worker instances on one
host to run these tests is a bit of a big ask. So, to handle
that, we create a support_server_2 and have the former universal
tests use that one instead, so we'll have two separate clusters
on Server-dvd-iso now.

This is to make the infra folks happy, apparently using 10.0.x.x
and 10.1.x.x is causing conflicts since our actual infra network
uses those ranges too.

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:
This isn't in the criteria, but it's commonly used, so we ought
to test this way. Require authentication for the iSCSI target
and have the test provide the appropriate auth info.
Test Plan:
Run the iscsi test and check it works (you need the
recent fixes for support_server to make *that* work). Nothing
else should be affected.

Summary:
this is following a SUSE model for tests where we need a server
end but don't want setting up the server to constitute a real
test in itself, we want it to be stable. The 'support_server'
test just boots a pre-built (by createhdds) disk image, sets up
networking, and runs the iSCSI server.
To run the iSCSI test we need to handle networking config in
anaconda (or we would need to set the support server up as a
DHCP server, which may be worth considering), so this adds that.
We also need to be able to specify the target device for a
volume in custom partitioning, so this adds that too.
Test Plan:
Build the necessary support server disk image (use
D883), then run the test and make sure it works. Also make sure
all other tests continue to work.
