Sometimes on aarch64 clicking the partition scheme drop-down
just doesn't seem to make the menu appear, instead the button
goes active but that's all. It's very unlikely we'll be able
to track down why as this doesn't happen in manual testing on
aarch64 (according to @pwhalen), so instead let's just work
around it.

These all are caused by a new desktop background and bits of
KDE desktop chrome apparently becoming translucent.

The way this currently works, the test unconditionally waits 60
seconds for the "Timbuktu screen" (the warning dialog shown on
pre-release images) to appear when anaconda is starting up, even
if it's testing an image where it doesn't show up. Now we test
Atomic nightlies and live respins and stuff this happens quite a
lot, so let's avoid it. This way if the hub appears during those
60 seconds we'll spot it right away and continue, otherwise we
behave the same as before.

Upstream is gonna change the default from 30 to 0, it seems:
https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/965
so let's go ahead and change these two cases where we have no
explicit timeout to have one.

The reason we have all this horrible code to use the commented-
out baseurl lines in the repo files instead of the metalinks
that are usually used is a timing issue with the metalink
system. As a protection against stale mirrors, the metalink
system sends the package manager a list of mirrors *and a list
of recent checksums for the repo metadata*. The package manager
goes out and gets the metadata from the first mirror on the
list, then checksums it; if the checksum isn't on the list of
checksums it got from mirrormanager, it assumes that means the
mirror is stale, and tries the next on the list instead.
The problem is that MM's list of checksums is currently only
updated once an hour (by a cron job). So we kept running into
a problem where, when a test ran just after one of the repos
had been regenerated, the infra mirror it's supposed to use
would be rejected because the checksum wasn't on the list - but
not because the mirror was stale, but because it was too fresh,
it had got the new packages and metadata but mirrormanager's
list of checksums hadn't been updated to include the checksum
for the latest metadata.
All this baseurl munging code was getting ridiculous, though,
what with the tests getting more complicated and errors showing
up in the actual repo files and stuff. It occurred to me that
instead of using the baseurl we can just use the 'mirrorlist'
system instead of 'metalink'. mirrorlist is the dumber, older
system which just provides the package manager a list of mirrors
and nothing else - the whole stale-mirror-detection-checksum
thing does not happen with mirrorlists, the package manager just
tries all the mirrors in order and uses the first that works.
And happily, it's very easy to convert the metalink URLs into
mirrorlist URLs, and it saves all that faffing around trying to
fix up baseurls.
Also, adjust upgrade_boot to do the s/metalink/mirrorlist/
substitution, so upgrade tests don't run into the timing issue
in the steps before the main repo_setup run is done by
upgrade_run, and adjust repo_setup_compose to sub this line out
later.

The background is now blue for ppc64le, so add related needles as bypass.
no such problem with ppc64 (BE)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1403365 has been
around approximately forever and I still haven't managed to
debug it; let's just make needles for it, as it's not really a
critical bug, the system still *works*.
