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.

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).

This is required for script_run invocations in current
os-autoinst to tell it what to do if script_run times out, rather
than failing or succeeding (this behaviour was always undefined).
Right now you just get a deprecation warning but at some point
not setting it will be fatal. This tells it to die if script_run
times out; 0 would mean "just keep going, even though the
terminal is probably still blocked waiting for the command to
return".

This PR adds implementations of distribution methods to make them
usable on Fedora. It adds the following methods
* ensure_installed (to install packages)
* become_root (to switch to root account)
* script_sudo (run script with sudo)
* assert_script_sudo (run and assert a sudo script)
It also adds a helper script to the utils.pm
* make_serial_writable
that makes the serial console writable for normal users
and so enables to run commands that check their progress
by sending messages to the serial console. Normally, they
fail, because the messages will not be written their, so
the checking mechanism will never see them.
Inspired by openQA's 01-compile-check-all.t, this adds a perl
test which checks the syntax of main.pm and all lib and test
files, and hooks it up to CI. Requires os-autoinst and
perl-Test-Strict.

wait_idle is finally removed upstream in recent git os-autoinst.
This replaces all remaining wait_idles with sleeps, except for
one which is removed (I'm hoping improvements to typing in the
last few years should mean it isn't necessary any more, if it
turns out to be, I'll put it back as a sleep).

There is nothing inherently 'root'-y about these so it makes no
sense to prefix their names with 'root-'. And why change from
'console' to 'terminal' compared to the naming used in the
actual qemu command and the log files? It's just confusing.
Let's be consistent (except for using - instead of _ here...
but - is easier to type!)

Summary:
os-autoinst implements `script_run` itself now, we aren't
required to implement it ourselves any more. os-autoinst's
implementation is better than ours, as it allows for verifying
the script actually ran (via the redirect-output-to-serial-
console trick).
So this drops our implementation so we'll just use the upstream
one. Where I judged we don't want to bother with the 'check
the command actually ran' feature I've adjusted our direct
`script_run` calls to pass a wait time of 0, which skips the
'wait for command to run' stuff entirely and just does a simple
'type the string and hit enter'.
Because of how the inheritance works, our `assert_script_run`
calls already used the os-autoinst `script_run`, rather than
the one from our distribution.
This should prevent `prepare_test_packages` sometimes going
wrong right after removing the python3-kickstart package, as
we'll properly wait for that removal to complete now (before
we weren't, we'd just start typing the next command while it
was still running, which could result in lost keypresses).
Test Plan:
Check all tests still run OK (I've tried this on
staging and it seems fine).

Summary:
the main thing this does is try and type slower in X - this
should cover nearly everywhere we type anything in X, and make
it type slower. We also add a bit more safety checking to some
old tests which didn't have it (mainly _do_install_and_reboot)
- wait_still_screen after typing to make sure all the keypresses
were registered before continuing.
This is an attempt to mitigate the problems we've seen where
the wrong text gets typed into the wrong places and the tests
break.
This branch is live on staging atm. It still has *some* issues,
but I do think it's an improvement.
Test Plan:
run the tests (probably several times), compare to
runs without the change, see if it's better or worse...

This requires adding products, flavors and needles and test
cases, and tweaking some existing ones to handle the
slightly different behaviour of live images in shared tests.
To handle the different main hub screens in live and non-live,
a less stringent needle is added which is unregistered for
non-live tests, so they don't match on it before they've
finished updating repository metadata.
There are a few small bugfix tweaks in this too, like some
delays in user creation to try and avoid intermittent failures
there.
A new root_logged_in needle is also included, to handle a new
console font in Rawhide - that has nothing strictly to do with
live testing, it just happened to come up while working on
this.
