I'm attempting a new approach to the update and workaround repos.
Instead of having each update test recreate them for itself -
which is slow and wastes bandwidth - the dispatcher will create
an ISO at test schedule time and pass it as ISO_2. Then the test
just mounts the ISO. This makes the necessary adjustments on the
test side.

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.

PXE install on UEFI (incl. aarch64) is failing at present, this
seems to be due to a grub bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2152763
we're really intending to test the client side here, not the
server end, so let's work around this problem on the server end
by installing a grub2 scratch build that's the package from just
before the bad change, but with the release and epoch bumped,
from a side repo.

This is like the existing tests that build network install and
live images then install them, only for Silverblue. First we
build an ostree, using the standard configuration for the release
and subvariant but with the 'advisory' and 'workarounds' repos
included, so it will contain current stable packages plus the
packages from the update and any workarounds. Then we build an
ostree installer image with the ostree embedded, again including
advisory and workarounds repos in the installer build config so
packages from them will be included in the installer environment.
The image is uploaded, which completes the _ostree_build test.
Then an install_default_update_ostree test runs, which does a
standard install and boot from the installer image.
We do make a change that affects other tests, too. We now run
_advisory_post on live image install tests, as well as this new
ostree install image install test. It was skipped before because
of an exception that's really only needed for the netinst image
install test. In that test, packages from the update won't be
included in the installed system, so we can't run _advisory_post
on it. But for ostree and live image build/install tests, the
installed system *should* include packages from the update, so
we should check and make sure that it does.

`cp -R foo/*` doesn't get all files in `foo/`, it misses hidden

One of the test cases we didn't yet automate is:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Kickstart_File_Path_Ks_Cfg
Now we have a PXE test, it's actually a good opportunity to test
that at the same time. I don't usually like combining tests like
this but in this case it sort of makes sense as otherwise we'd
have to have a whole parallel PXE install just to test this one
other detail. So, instead of doing an interactive PXE install as
we did at first, let's tweak the test to include a kickstart in
the initramfs and run the install from that.

This adds a whole wodge of stuff to support_server to make it
act as a PXE server, then adds a new test which boots from PXE
and so should hit the PXE server. We use the NFS install repo as
that can be relied on to work for a support_server install.

We quite often want to run the update tests on a Koji task (not
a Bodhi update) for some reason - usually to test a potential
fix for an issue, or at a maintainer's request to test a change
before it is merged upstream and officially sent out as an
update. Up till now I've always hacked up utils.pm on the
staging server by hand to do this, which is horrible. Together
with a commit to fedora_openqa, this should allow us to do it in
a nice, sane way via the CLI. It's mostly just tweaking the
"updates" repo setup in utils.pm as you'd expect, but there's a
bit of subtlety to it because of the installer tests that use
%ADVISORY% as a variable substitution in the disk image name;
you can't do something like `%ADVISORY or KOJITASK%`, sadly, so
I had to have almost-redundant variables ADVISORY, KOJITASK and
ADVISORY_OR_TASK (we could kinda just live with ADVISORY_OR_TASK
except I didn't want to drop ADVISORY as it's an unnecessary
change from previous behavior).

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1669256 it became
obvious that there's a missing feature in the new installer test
for updates: the update is both used in the image build process
and built into the installer environment itself, but it is not
actually included in the installed package set. This can be a
problem if the update has a bug that manifests *only* at install
time if it is in the install transaction (which is exactly the
case there), because the test will not catch this, and nor will
any other test.
So this commit makes `support_server` set up the update repo and
serve it out via NFS when it's run in an update context, and
makes the actual update install test run parallel with it and
use that repository. This way the install should include the
package(s) from the update. (It also of course means the test
fails if an update breaks NFS or something like that, but hey,
we want to know that!)
A parallel commit for fedora_openqa is necessary to add the
required CURRREL setting for the updates-installer flavor.

This reverts commit 0eb15266117aae47f663297f5f332d480d8549b9.
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 an entirely new workflow for testing distribution
updates. The `ADVISORY` variable is introduced: when set,
`main.pm` will load an early post-install test that sets up
a repository containing the packages from the specified update,
runs `dnf -y update`, and reboots. A new templates file is
added, `templates-updates`, which adds two new flavors called
`updates-server` and `updates-workstation`, each containing
job templates for appropriate post-install tests. Scheduler is
expected to post `ADVISORY=(update ID) HDD_1=(base image)
FLAVOR=updates-(server|workstation)`, where (base image) is one
of the stable release base disk images produced by `createhdds`
and usually used for upgrade testing. This will result in the
appropriate job templates being loaded.
We rejig postinstall test loading and static network config a
bit so that this works for both the 'compose' and 'updates' test
flows: we have to ensure we bring up networking for the tap
tests before we try and install the updates, but still allow
later adjustment of the configuration. We take advantage of the
openQA feature that was added a few months back to run the same
module multiple times, so the `_advisory_update` module can
reboot after installing the updates and the modules that take
care of bootloader, encryption and login get run again. This
looks slightly wacky in the web UI, though - it doesn't show the
later runs of each module.
We also use the recently added feature to specify `+HDD_1` in
the test suites which use a disk image uploaded by an earlier
post-install test, so the test suite value will take priority
over the value POSTed by the scheduler for those tests, and we
will use the uploaded disk image (and not the clean base image
POSTed by the scheduler) for those tests.
My intent here is to enhance the scheduler, adding a consumer
which listens out for critpath updates, and runs this test flow
for each one, then reports the results to ResultsDB where Bodhi
could query and display them. We could also add a list of other
packages to have one or both sets of update tests run on it, I
guess.
Test Plan:
Try a post something like:
HDD_1=disk_f25_server_3_x86_64.img DISTRI=fedora VERSION=25
FLAVOR=updates-server ARCH=x86_64 BUILD=FEDORA-2017-376ae2b92c
ADVISORY=FEDORA-2017-376ae2b92c CURRREL=25 PREVREL=24
Pick an appropriate `ADVISORY` (ideally, one containing some
packages which might actually be involved in the tests), and
matching `FLAVOR` and `HDD_1`. The appropriate tests should run,
a repo with the update packages should be created and enabled
(and dnf update run), and the tests should work properly. Also
test a regular compose run to make sure I didn't break anything.

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.

recent fixes for support_server to make *that* work). Nothing
else should be affected.

support_server was failing because of #1402427. I re-generated
the disk image with latest F25 so the fixed selinux-policy is
used, but even then, it seems we have to run 'restorecon' on
rpcbind manually before starting nfs.
Summary:
I started out wanting to fix an issue I noticed today where
graphical upgrade tests were failing because they didn't wait
for the graphical login screen properly; the test was sitting
at the 'full Fedora logo' state of plymouth for a long time,
so the current boot_to_login_screen's wait_still_screen was
triggered by it and the function wound up failing on the
assert_screen, because it was still some time before the real
login screen appeared.
So I tweaked the boot_to_login_screen implementation to work
slightly differently (look for a login screen match, *then* -
if we're dealing with a graphical login - wait_still_screen
to defeat the 'old GPU buffer showing login screen' problem
and assert the login screen again). But while working on it,
I figured we really should consolidate all the various places
that handle the bootloader -> login, we were doing it quite
differently in all sorts of different places. And as part of
that, I converted the base tests to use POSTINSTALL (and thus
go through the shared _wait_login tests) instead of handling
boot themselves. As part of *that*, I tweaked main.pm to not
require all POSTINSTALL tests have the _postinstall suffix on
their names, as it really doesn't make sense, and renamed the
tests.
Test Plan: Run all tests, see if they work.
