We have a big problem with Rawhide KDE update tests getting OOM
killed during this phase. Stopping the desktop before we install
updates should save some RAM and help avoid this.

This adds a new test intended to just check boot chain things
for updates. It doesn't run any test modules besides the stock
update ones, but sets a variable, ADVISORY_BOOT_TEST, which
causes _advisory_update to do some additional stuff after
installing the updates but before rebooting: it forces regen
of the initramfs and bootloader config, and reinstalls the
bootloader on BIOS (not UEFI as it's not relevant). If the
following boot fails, we probably have a bug somewhere.

Looking at this, it's a bit weird: the updated packages are
actually included in the upgrade process, but we still run
_advisory_update, which does basically nothing...then reboots.
That's kinda silly and makes the tests a bit flaky, let's fix
it. I don't think there's actually any problem with doing the
upload of updatepkgs.txt in _repo_setup_updates, becase that
already guards against being run more than once, it just bails
very early if it's already been run.

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 some logging related to the update testing workflow,
so we have some idea what we actually tested. We log precisely
which packages were actually downloaded from the update - this
is important as updates can be edited and when examining results
we'll want to know which packages actually got used. We also
add a new module which runs at the end of postinstall and tries
to figure out which packages from the update were installed in
the course of the test. This still isn't a guarantee the test
actually *tested them* in any way, but it at least means they
got installed successfully and didn't interfere with the test.
Test Plan:
Run the update test workflow, check the logs get
uploaded and seem accurate (sometimes some RPM garbage messages
wind up in the package log, I'm not too worried about that at
present). Run the compose test workflow and check it didn't
break.

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.
