Adam Williamson aba2814611 add cockpit_default and cockpit_basic tests ...

Summary:
This adds tests for the Server_cockpit_default and cockpit_basic
test cases. Some notes: I was initially thinking of combining
these into a single test with multiple test modules and coming
up with a system for doing wiki reporting based on individual
test module status, but because we'll also want to do a cockpit
FreeIPA enrol test, I decided against it. We don't really want
to combine all three because then we would skip the cockpit
tests whenever FreeIPA server deployment failed, which isn't
ideal. So since we'll need a separate FreeIPA enrolment test
anyway it doesn't really make sense to go to the trouble of
designing a system for loading multiple postinstall tests (though
I have an idea for that!) and a per-module wiki reporting system.

This was the most minimal and hopefully reliable method for
running Cockpit from a stock Server install that I could think
of. An alternative approach would be to have, say, the most
recent stable Workstation live as a 'stock' asset and have two
tests, one which runs a stock Server install and just waits and
another which boots the live image and accesses the cockpit
running on the other box, but that seems a bit over-complex. It
is not possible to have dependencies between tests for different
ISOs, in case you were wondering about having a Workstation live
test which runs parallel with a Server DVD test, we can't do
that. One funny thing is the font that winds up getting used for
the desktop, but I don't *think* that should be a problem.

Picking needles was a bit tricky; any improvement suggestions
are welcome. I'm hoping it turns out to be safe to rely on some
dbus log messages being present; I think logging into Cockpit
triggers activation of the realmd dbus interface, so there
*should* always be some messages related to that. An alternative
would just be to match on a sliver of the dark grey table header
and the light grey row beneath it and assume that'll always be
the first message (whatever the message is), but then we have to
find some area of the message details screen which is always
present for any message, and it just seems a tad more likely to
result in false passes. Similary I'm making an assumption that
auditd is always going to show up on the first page of the
Services screen and the details screen will always show that
'loaded...enabled' text.

Test Plan:
Run the tests and see if they work! See
https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/21373 and
https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/21371 for my tests.
