This change has sdk_bootstrap update the origin branch when run from the
main branch, updating the SDK and OS version in 'main' for each SDK
bootstrap build.
Release / maintenance branches have the SDK version set in the
versionfile at release time. But main is never updated.
Updating the versionfile in main when a new SDK is built ensures that
dev branches based on main will also use the correct SDK version (e.g.
in subsequent CI builds).
This change adds copying test results to the build cache server, and
adds respective deletion to the garbage collector.
Also, the patch fixes an issue with torcx publishing (manifest
publishing had arch hard-coded).

Disable ebuild-locks for the emerge command that creates the image.
Ebuild-locks protect unsandboxed ebuild phases from running
concurrently, but also slow things down greatly when a lot of
concurrency would otherwise be possible. The image build phase merges a
big amount of binary packages, and I am not aware of us having any
phases that risk concurrently modifying shared files.
I have been testing this for the last months and have not seen any
failures. The time savings are significant: this cuts image build time
from 20m to 10m for me.

This change introduces update_sdk_container_image, a script to generate
a new SDK container image based on an existing SDK container. The
script is meant to be used for minor / patch level SDK changes (like
test suite updates).

Use HTTP instead of https because Ignition does not recognise
letsencrypt certificates, leading to test breakage in
docker.torcx-manifest-pkgs.
Add a note in settings.env to explicitly call out HTTP requirement of
build cache server.

Package users nowadays get created through systemd-sysuser files.
Gentoo uses the acct-user|groups packages to allocate stable IDs for
these users. Since they get created at runtime, we have the problem
that they end up in /etc/passwd at boot time which would be fine if
they follow the acct-user allocations but it could also be that there
is a package that uses its own sysuser files, leading to dynamic ID
allocation which we can't control and may result in ugly user ID
mismatches that are hard to resolve again. Normally we intend to ship
all system users under /usr/share/baselayout/passwd so that /etc/passwd
is really left to the user's own entries.
Generate the /etc/passwd sysuser entries at image build time and move
these entries over to /usr/share/baselayout/passwd so that all
system users reside in this database. We should still ensure to have
acct-user packages for all system users or at least hardcoded user
IDs, therefore, add a check for that.
This change updates the package build script to publish the torcx
manifest file to the build cache so it can be used by tests.
It also updates the generic test script to use the SDK container instead
of the packages container image, and to download and use the torcx
manifest from the build cache.

- Git author configuration moves to tagging function and put under a
condition so as to not pollute peoples' workspaces.
- curl now less verbose since it was spamming logs with TLS debug
information.

Often a change results in unexpected effects on the image, e.g., when
a wrong package version gets chosen or the package installs files under
/etc, or binaries of library dependencies get pulled in. Besides
inspecting the image manually, the package-diff tool also gives
valuable insights.
Run the package-diff tool in a comparison to the last release and print
the image URL alongside for convenience.
The default branch of both repos, coreos-overlay and portage-stable,
should be `main`. If we checkout `master` branch, which contains
invalid source code that was deprecated many years ago, the build could
sometimes fail, e.g. when trying to build perl 5.26.2 with gcc 10.
Simply delete the code checking out branches, as the part is already
being handled in emerge-gitclone.
number of test increased. While we don't have yet a way to reduce
testing time, let's increase the timeout.

Azure requires disks to be fixed-size VHD files when uploading to blob storage
in order to create image/gallery objects from them. This is documented here[1].
To prevent mistakes from happening create disks in that format directly so that
any azure compatible tool can upload them, though azcopy is recommend because
it handles their sparseness best.
This has not been an issue for us so far because kola uses code from an older
utility that transparently handled the dynamic-to-fixed-size conversion for VHD
files (azure-vhd-utils). But people working with these things for the first
time fall into this trap.
