Per https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-5fd964c1bf#comment-3149533
we kinda need to do this to allow this update through, so long as
we're not going to have dnf obsolete dnf5 or anything like that.
It's a bit unfortunate but I don't see an alternative.

We're seeing a lot of tests fail on 404s when trying to access
the koji-rawhide repo (the repo for the Rawhide build tag, which
we use to get packages tagged since the last compose. nirik is
trying to figure this out from the server end, but for now at
least, let's mark the repo as skip_if_unavailable. This should
mean that if we hit a 404, the test will continue, it just won't
have access to the packages from that repo. Occasionally this
will cause a problem - a false failure or false pass - but this
still seems better than every test that hits it failing. The
false pass case is the most concerning, but I would hope in that
case some other tests from the same update would fail, making it
not an issue.

Per nirik, 'repos/rawhide' is just a symlink to 'repos/fXX-build'
and this could possibly be part of our 404 problem. So let's
try using fXX-build directly instead of the symlink.

This repo gets regenerated a lot, so we should be very aggressive
about metadata expiry. Hopefully this will forestall most of
the cases where we get a 404 trying to access this repo's
metadata files.

We're still getting failures from pagure.io even with the retry
stuff. nirik asked us to add this to help figure out what the
heck is going on there.

This tweaks all pagure.io downloads to be retried a few times,
since we seem to be getting failures quite often. We use curl
for this as it has nice options for it.

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...

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.

Drop the e2fsprogs scratch build workaround we were using for
https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/470 -
with the new 'use a custom ref and rebase to the official ref'

necessary any longer.

I think this is new behaviour in rpm 4.19, or else we would have
run into this before when testing an s390utils update. But it's
easy enough to handle.

F36 is now EOL, and from F37 onwards, grub is the bootloader in
any situation where it actually matters to do_bootloader (which
is only when we're editing parameters). We do still use syslinux
in the PXE tests on x86_64 BIOS, but we don't edit the parameters
in that case.

This adds a new script - cleanup-needles.py - to use for cleaning
up old needles. It has to be used in conjunction with a database
query; the comment at the top explains how to do that query and
export the needed information. It produces a git commit with
needles that haven't matched since a certain date (specified in
the sql query) removed, subject to a 'keeplist' of needles we
keep even if they seem to be old.
I also enhanced check-needles.py to check for cases where tests
seem to be trying to match a tag we have no needles for. This
was necessary to find cases where the cleanup script was too
aggressive (i.e. the things that wound up in the 'keeplist'),
but it also turned out to find quite a lot of cases where the
code really *was* looking for a needle that had gone in a
previous cleanup or that never existed; the commits before this
one clean up a lot of those cases.
The code to decide which string literals are needle tags is
pretty dumb and hacky and needs some manual cueing sometimes -
that's what the `# testtag` changes in this commit are for.
Making it smarter would probably require this script to get a
lot more complicated and either incorporate or become a
tokenizer, which I don't really want to do.

It looks like neither of these has been a problem for some time.
The notification needle has not matched for a year. The akonadi
needle doesn't exist any more - it was cleaned up in the 2021
needle cleanup, meaning it hadn't matched for weeks in 2021. I
checked the last several months of KDE app start/stop tests and
don't see any case where there was a stray notification that we
missed. So I think we can just ditch this whole mechanism for
now; if we have problems with these notifications again in future
we can put it back.

For several releases now, the 'new user mode' of g-i-s is just
gone: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-initial-setup/-/issues/12
so this whole path where we used to be able to set up Japanese
input methods on first boot after install doesn't work any more.
We had to set up a whole different route to set the input method
via control center instead (which lives in _graphical_input).
This block is never reached any more, and the needles for it were
cleaned up in 2021.

Since 022865ab we do not use start_with_launcher on KDE any more.
The needle for it has since got lost in an unused needle
cleanup. Let's just drop this branch for now; we can add it back
if we ever need it again.

The needle that backs this workaround was dropped in the 2021
needle cleanup, so it's never worked since then. I checked, and
no aarch64 tests seem to be failing on this any more.

Upstream https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/4973 requires
us to poke things here a bit. This only works with the newer
os-autoinst and openQA (there may be a way to conditionalize it
to work with both, but I can't be bothered figuring it out, let's
just update).

There's a fairly longstanding issue in GDM where switching layout
just doesn't work sometimes:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6066#note_1707051
there doesn't seem to be any progress on getting this fixed, and
it's annoying constantly restarting tests that fail on it. So
this just makes us try three times to switch before giving up.

In install_repository_hd_variation , we have two disks attached,
so when we reach the INSTALLATION DESTINATION screen we expect
we have to select the correct target disk. However, as of the
most recent anaconda build in Rawhide, anaconda realizes we're
using a file from the other disk as our install repo, and
'protects' it - i.e. it does not show it on the INSTALLATION
DESTINATION screen, meaning only one disk is shown there, and
when only one disk is shown, it's pre-selected. So when we click,
we actually *un*select it, and the test fails.
Fixing this is a bit awkward; I wanted to add a new variable,
ANACONDA_PROTECTED_DISKS or something, and subtract that from
the NUMDISKS count; but we can't really do that as the enhanced
protection isn't in F38, and we can't easily set variables
differently on different releases (we'd have to set them in the
scheduler code, not just put them in the templates). So we just
code in a doofy condition for this instead. Maybe when F38 is
EOL we can change to the variable approach.

Reasoning:
1. pandoc is not in critpath so will not itself be tested
2. pandoc is widely used and actively maintained
3. package is noarch
4. package has minimal deps
Hopefully this will work for everything. For some reason, the
"use python3-blivet for pykickstart tests" fails mysteriously
sometimes, see e.g.
https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/2672282

Somehow, the dummy package being python3-kickstart causes the
graphical update tests (only) to fail for pykickstart updates
(that's the source package of python3-kickstart). The CLI and
Cockpit update tests are fine with this and pass.
To workaround this, use python3-blivet as the dummy package for
the graphical update tests when testing an update that contains
python3-kickstart. I've updated the test repo to contain both
dummy packages.

So...there's an ffmpeg update:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-a5e10b188a
which went stable. It includes new sonames of all the ffmpeg
libs. It also pulls in a thing called oneVPL, which has a bug
that breaks ostree composes.
There's a big kf5 update:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-b086a98f78
which contains kf5-kfilemetadata, which is built against ffmpeg.
Neal made sure that update's build of it was built against the
new ffmpeg and submitted both for stable at once - but the tests
on the kf5 update failed because they weren't run against the
new ffmpeg as it wasn't yet stable, and the kf5 update was
ejected from the push because of the failed tests.
So now we have the ffmpeg update stable but not the
kf5-kfilemetadata rebuild for it, which will break KDE stuff,
and the oneVPL issue means ostree composes will all fail.
This adds the ffmpeg update as a workaround so we can re-run the
tests for the kf5 update and get them to pass so we can push it
stable. It also adds the oneVPL update as a workaround so ostree
compose tests don't start failing.

Move the xauth disablement and the disabling of studies into
_setup_browser, instead of repeating it in a couple of other
places (but *not* doing it in the zezere test, where we should
be doing it). Drop some explicit package installs that should
no longer be needed as Firefox and/or X.org now depend on those
things. Install the current default fonts (Noto), not the old
ones (DejaVu).

A different way to address the same problem as 56936df7 . Let's
just *remove* the repo management packages after we're done
creating the repos. dnf will automatically remove the unused
dependencies too. This fixes the python-cryptography case at
least - I tested.

There's this awkward path for the live image install tests on
updates. We run the 'are the correct versions of all the packages
installed' check on these tests to ensure the right versions
actually made it onto the live image. So we don't run
`dnf -y update` at the end of repo_setup_updates on that path,
because if we did that, even if the packages on the live image
were old, we'd update them there and hide the problem.
However, this causes a bit of an ordering issue, because in
order to set up the advisory repo, we need to install a few
packages. What if the update under test includes one of those
packages, or a dependency that wasn't already installed? In
that case, we wind up with the older stable version of the
package (because obviously we can't install the newer version
from the advisory repo *before we've set up the advisory repo*),
don't update it later, and so the 'correct version' check at
the end of the test fails. See:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/1778707 for a case of
this happening with a python-cryptography update.
Up till now I was trying to handle this by just updating the
specific packages we install, but that doesn't account for
*dependencies* of them. I looked down the path of trying to
generate a list of all those dependencies and update all of
them but it looks a bit mad. So instead let's try this. On that
specific path, we'll generate the "all installed packages" list
*before* we run repo_setup, so it just doesn't include anything
that gets installed during repo_setup. The implementation is a
bit icky but not too horrible.
We *could* just *always* generate the all installed packages
list earlier, but then that would mean we *wouldn't* catch dep
issues in this kind of package on the other test paths, whereas
currently we do. I don't want to lose that.

This is to handle a temporary condition where the screen isn't
present on the KDE base disk images for F38 or F39 yet, so they
only see it on the second boot on update tests, but don't handle
it because we marked it as already 'done'.
