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.

Summary:
This requires a few other changes:
* turn clone_host_resolv into clone_host_file, letting you clone
any given host file (cloning /etc/hosts seems to make both
server deployment and client enrolment faster/more reliable)
* allow loading of multiple POSTINSTALL tests (so we can share
the freeipa_client_postinstall test). Note this is compatible,
existing uses will work fine
* move initial password change for the IPA test users into the
server deployment test (so the client tests don't conflict over
doing that)
* add GRUB_POSTINSTALL, for specifying boot parameters for boot of
the installed system, and make it work by tweaking _console_wait
_login (doesn't work for _graphical_wait_login yet, as I didn't
need that)
* make the static networking config for tap tests into a library
function so the tests can share it
* handle ABRT problem dirs showing up in /var/spool/abrt as well
as /var/tmp/abrt (because the enrol attempt hits #1330766 and
the crash report shows up in /var/spool/abrt, don't ask me why
the difference, I just work here)
* specify the DNS servers from the worker host's resolv.conf as
the forwarders for the FreeIPA server when deploying it; if we
don't do this, rolekit defaults to using the root servers as
forwarders(!) and thus we get the public, not phx2-appropriate,
results for e.g. mirrors.fedoraproject.org, some of which the
workers can't reach, so PackageKit package install always fails
(boy, was it fun figuring THAT mess out)
Even after all that, the test still doesn't actually pass, but
I'm reasonably confident this is because it's hitting actual bugs,
not because it's broken. It runs into #1330766 nearly every time
(I think I saw *one* time the enrolment actually succeeded), and
seems to run into a subsequent bug I hadn't seen before when
trying to work around that by trying the join again (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1330766#c37 ).
Test Plan:
Run the test, see what happens. If you're really lucky,
it'll actually pass. But you'll probably run into #1330766#c37,
I'm mostly posting for comment. You'll need a tap-capable openQA
instance to test this.

Summary:
These require openQA tap networking to allow the server and
client boxes to communicate, and require masquerading (NAT) so
the server at least can reach a repository (dnf/rolekit really,
really do not want to work without a repo connection).
They use the 'parallel' test support to have the server deploy
run first while the client enrol test waits at the grub menu
until the server is done before it goes ahead.
This is all deployed and working on stg. The really tricky bit
was getting all the openvswitch and firewall config right in
ansible.
We *could* do the server deploy test as a follow-on from the
default install test to save the install, but then we'd have to
teach it to change the hostname and set up static networking
post-install. I'm not sure if it's worth doing that.
This requires the corresponding openqa_fedora_tools commit that
adds the hard disks (containing the kickstarts - it's possible
to get them from remote during install, but we have to set up
name resolution or hard code the IP of the server).
Test Plan:
Deploy this and the openqa_fedora_tools commit,
generate the disks, configure the networking (good luck! See
the docs in openqa_fedora_tools) and see if you can run the
tests. If you're using Docker, uh...sorry. You somehow need to
set things up so the workers can use tap interfaces that can
talk to each other and are NATed to the outside world. Have fun.
I can talk you through it on IRC...
