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.

This uses a Python script which implements concurrent downloads
(via asyncio) to download workaround and update packages and
configure the repos. This should speed up the process for large
multi-package updates.

This effectively reverts 97618193 - but had to be done manually
and adjusted to maintain support for testing side tags and for
testing multiple tasks, since those features were added since
the update ISO change.
The 'scheduler injects ISOs of packages into the tests' approach
was intended to speed things up, especially for large updates,
and it did, but it had a few drawbacks. It means restarting
older tests from the web UI doesn't work as the ISOs get garbage
collected (you have to re-schedule in this case). And it has the
rather large problem that you can now only schedule tests from
the openQA server (or at least a machine with the openQA asset
share mounted), because the package download and ISO creation
just happen wherever the scheduler is running and assume that
the openQA asset share that will be used by the tests is at
/var/lib/openqa/share in that filesystem.
That's too big of a drawback to continue with this approach, IMO,
so this reverts back to the old way of doing things, with a bit
of refactoring to clean up the flow a little, and with support
for testing side tags and multiple tasks maintained.
As a follow-up I'm going to see if I can replace
_download_packages with a much more efficient downloader script
to mitigate the time this process takes on each test, especially
for large updates.

Seems the bug might just be that plymouth got more sensitive to
fast typing, so instead of waiting, let's try slow typing.

New Plymouth seems to have a bug where it shows the decryption
prompt briefly then shows a spinner and refreshes it, throwing
away any already-typed input. This is breaking our tests quite
often (any time os-autoinst is "lucky" enough to spot the first
brief appearance of the prompt and start typing). To work around
it, after we first see the prompt, wait for the screen to settle
and re-assert the needle before typing. This should reliably
wait out the refresh cycle.

Plasma 6's color chooser seems to have dropped the nice "basic

This PR tries to respond to issue #294.
On Silverblue, this will try:
* flatpak install
* flatpak remote-add
* flatpak list
* flatpak remotes
* flatpak remove
* flatpak update
and also it tests that a flatpak can be built.
Currently, the installation via WebUI is mostly pushing the Next button
which seems to be ok for the production which is based in the US.
This PR makes openQA to select languages when the G-I-S runs
before Anaconda. The particular language is selected based on
the LANGUAGE variable.
The latest version of g-i-s grew a "Previous" button on the
final page, and hitting tab once now activates that, not the
Try button. shift-tab *should* get us to Try on both old and
new versions.

webUI has been deferred to F40, so we need to expect the old UI

We're reverting webUI for Fedora 39.
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-73c4f1a802
is the update that implements this; adapt the tests to handle it
(by expecting the old flow when testing that update, and editing
the kickstart to drop anaconda-webui when building the live
image).

We now have a fix for the bug on the new webUI flow where the
language and keyboard screens weren't skipped on the first boot
after install, as intended. language is never *really* skipped -
it just turns into welcome - but keyboard is now being skipped,
which messes up the logic here.
For a short time we need to handle both paths, to get the new
anaconda builds through and new composes built. In a couple of
days we can simplify this to just always assume keyboard will
be skipped on the first boot on Workstation live installs on
F39+.
Also drop handling of auth_required in g-i-s - I'm pretty sure
that bug got fixed years ago - and wait_still_screen for three
seconds on each page, to let animated transitions settle.

We're seeing a lot of tests fail on 404s when trying to access
the koji-rawhide repo (the repo for the Rawhide build tag, which
we use to get packages tagged since the last compose. nirik is
trying to figure this out from the server end, but for now at
least, let's mark the repo as skip_if_unavailable. This should
mean that if we hit a 404, the test will continue, it just won't
have access to the packages from that repo. Occasionally this
will cause a problem - a false failure or false pass - but this
still seems better than every test that hits it failing. The
false pass case is the most concerning, but I would hope in that
case some other tests from the same update would fail, making it
not an issue.

Per nirik, 'repos/rawhide' is just a symlink to 'repos/fXX-build'
and this could possibly be part of our 404 problem. So let's
try using fXX-build directly instead of the symlink.

We drop the line for the update ISO from /etc/fstab before
uploading the image after the cockpit_default test, but we don't

on stg before, but it sure as hell is failing in prod...

I'm attempting a new approach to the update and workaround repos.
Instead of having each update test recreate them for itself -
which is slow and wastes bandwidth - the dispatcher will create
an ISO at test schedule time and pass it as ISO_2. Then the test
just mounts the ISO. This makes the necessary adjustments on the
test side.

F36 is now EOL, and from F37 onwards, grub is the bootloader in

It looks like neither of these has been a problem for some time.
The notification needle has not matched for a year. The akonadi
needle doesn't exist any more - it was cleaned up in the 2021
needle cleanup, meaning it hadn't matched for weeks in 2021. I
checked the last several months of KDE app start/stop tests and
don't see any case where there was a stray notification that we
missed. So I think we can just ditch this whole mechanism for
now; if we have problems with these notifications again in future
we can put it back.

For several releases now, the 'new user mode' of g-i-s is just
gone: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-initial-setup/-/issues/12
so this whole path where we used to be able to set up Japanese
input methods on first boot after install doesn't work any more.
We had to set up a whole different route to set the input method
via control center instead (which lives in _graphical_input).
This block is never reached any more, and the needles for it were
cleaned up in 2021.
