For deciding whether to show a release as available for upgrade,
Discover now also checks its date as well as its 'type'. If the
date is in the future, even if the type is stable, it won't show
it unless the allow-pre-releases flag is set.
So, we need to also patch out the date. Just blanking it also
works, but let's hardcode it to the start of 2025 to be a bit
more realistic (in case there's ever a situation where the check
passes with an empty date, but fails with a date it should pass
with).

The enhanced method of menu_launch_type does not cover for
special corner cases, where the application starts in a
specific mode (settings dialogues etc.)
This handles exceptions for Software.
The previous version of menu_launch_type took the name of the
application as an argument and it started the application.
To maximize the application or to check that it has started indeed
we had to do it manually.
Now, the application also takes "maximize => 1" or "checkstart => 1"
to maximize the application or check that it has started as optional
arguments to avoid doing it manually, while it still accepts just
the name of the application and behaves like it did before.
Note that if you decide to use the checkstart argument, you
also need to update the check-needles.py script to whitelist
the application needle tag, see the example test scripts
attached to this PR.

This comes with a subtle behavioural change that we no longer
pass --nogpgcheck for upgrade tests, but we didn't really *mean*
to do that for anything but Rawhide, and it *shouldn't* be
necessary for Rawhide now, so let's see if everything is fine
without it.

This PR builds on some elements of the current upgrade process,
such as upgrade_boot, upgrade_preinstall, upgrade_postinstall, but
replaces the upgrade_run with graphical_upgrade_run to use graphical
methods to upgrade the system.
This would not be possible without necessary settings, that are
performed by graphical_upgrade_prerequisites.
Works for both Gnome and KDE.
