Summary:
we have a long-standing problem with all the tests that hit
the repositories. The tests are triggered as soon as a compose
completes. At this point in time, the compose is not synced to
the mirrors, where the default 'fedora' repo definition looks;
the sync happens after the compose completes, and there is also
a metadata sync step that must happen after *that* before any
operation that uses the 'fedora' repository definition will
actually use the packages from the new compose. Thus all net
install tests and tests that installed packages have been
effectively testing the previous compose, not the current one.
We have some thoughts about how to fix this 'properly' (such
that the openQA tests wouldn't have to do anything special,
but their 'fedora' repository would somehow reflect the compose
under test), but none of them is in place right now or likely
to happen in the short term, so in the mean time this should
deal with most of the issues. With this change, everything but
the default_install tests for the netinst images should use
the compose-under-test's Everything tree instead of the 'fedora'
repository, and thus should install and test the correct
packages.
This relies on a corresponding change to openqa_fedora_tools
to set the LOCATION openQA setting (which is simply the base
location of the compose under test).
Test Plan:
Do a full test run, check (as far as you can) tests run sensibly
and use appropriate repositories.

Summary:
Set up the support server to provide DHCP/DNS functionality and
an NFS server, providing a kickstart. Add a kickstart test just
like the other root-user-crypted-net kickstart tests except it
gets the kickstart from the support server via NFS. Also add NFS
repository tests and a second support server for Server-dvd-iso
flavor: this test must run on that flavor to ensure that packages
are actually available. The support server just mounts the
attached 'DVD' and exports it via NFS.
Note we don't need to do anything clever to avoid IP conflicts
between the two support servers, because os-autoinst-openvswitch
ensures each worker group is on its own VLAN.
As part of adding the NFS repo tests, I did a bit of cleanup,
moving little things we were repeating a lot into anacondatest,
and sharing the 'check if the repo was used' logic between all
the tests (by making it into a test step that's loaded for all
of them). I also simplified the 'was repo used' checks a bit,
it seems silly to run a 'grep' command inside the VM then have
os-autoinst do a grep on the output (which is effectively what
we were doing before), instead we'll just use a single grep
within the VM, and clean up the messy quoting/escaping a bit.
Test Plan:
Run all tests - at least all repository tests - and
check they work (make sure the tests are actually still sane,
not just that they pass). I've done runs of all the repo tests
and they look good to me, but please double-check. I'm currently
re-running the whole 24-20160609.n.0 test on staging with these
changes.
