I seem to have problems with getting a network connectivity inside
QEMU vm when running the tests in the azure machine. I don't know
what's the cause, but for the dev container tests these problems can
be worked around by using the locally provided dev container
image. Make it possible by specifying QEMU_DEVCONTAINER_FILE in the
environment.
This change updates the github actions kola test runner workflow to use
the new, separated artifacts produced by ci.yaml.
Further, it adds a fix for the devcontainer tests. Devcontainer and bin
packages used in the devcontainer tests are now served from a local
temporary web server.
The change also adds the qemu_update test and provides the respective
update payload.
Lastly, the tests now use a local torcx_manifest.json produced by
ci.yaml, which points to a torcx tarball also served by the local
temporary web server.
For the GitHub CI we have to use --qemu-skip-mangle because the LXC
containers don't have access to loop devices. Running with
--qemu-skip-mangle means that the serial console does not get captured
completely because systemd and dracut messages are missing, and thus we
don't catch these errors in kola.
Make the skipping conditional and use it in Jenkins at least for the
nightlies and releases.
To ensure that we can update from very old releases, add a test with a
fixed old release, here the Stable release that introduced arm64
support to have the same test logic for both architectures.
Recently we ran into sporadic corruption issues for AWS EC2 AMIs.
We use the streamOptimized VMDK format and it seems to cause problems
at the AWS side, regardless if created by qemu-img or vmdk-convert.
Switch to using the plain AMI images for uploading as workaround.
qemu_update vendor test was downloading a wrong LTS image when it was
testing the old LTS image. This is because it was using a current
symlink, which for LTS channel will always point to the new LTS. Old
LTS is available under current-${YEAR} symlink. We can get the
information about year from the lts-info file.
* Add SKIP_COPY_TO_BINCACHE environment variable that will skip
uploading test results to bincache. This is useful if we want to
upload test results as artifacts on github.
* make QEMU_IMAGE_NAME configurable

The new build pipeline compresses images already but uploaded both the
compressed and uncompressed files because the whole build folder gets
uploaded.
Add a new flag "--only_store_compressed" to the image generation which
deletes the uncompressed file after compression is done. Uncompressed
images are still supported if specified in the flag
"image_compression_formats".

The kola test run time shouldn't be longer than the GC duration to
prevent failing tests caused by GC interference.
Align the Azure kola timeout with the GC duration.
The Azure tests use a similar logic as the GCE tests where an the
instance type parameter normally used in AWS/Equinix Metal tests is
here used to specify whether the VM gets started in Gen V1 or V2 mode.

The logic we had in some tests for covering different instance types
now got more easy to reuse for testing the GVNIC mode in GCE.
Align the GCE test with AWS and DigitalOcean to test an additional
"instance type" (here just changing the NIC) and break the retest spin
case it gets called for arm64.
The test framework from the AWS PR allows us to align the logic which
also addresses some bugs we had here.
Port the Equinix Metal test over to the new framework (and also use
different test basenames per architecture while at it which could
otherwise result in clashes).
For now we had only "developer" images in the new pipeline.
Based on the git tag like "alpha-1234.0.0" set the channel (group) for
the image and also use this logic when finding the channel in the QEMU
update test.
The kola update test was missing. It is performed as update from the
old image to the newly built payload to ensure that the new image is
compatible for old clients.
This change adds the qemu_uefi.sh vendor test. It reuses most of the
implementation in qemu.sh (qemu_uefi.sh is a soft-link to qemu.sh).
This also enables qemu testing for ARM64.

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.
