The image job builds an image container that is multiple GBs big and
takes >10 mins to be loaded in the vms job. The vms job can also do its
work by running from the packages container from the packages job when
it fetchs the built image from bincache first and assuming the images
job copies it there.
Skip generating the image container and instead use the packages
container for VM image building by copying the image folder first to
bincache and then retrieving it from there. While reworking this we
also address the issue that the VMs container had used the same name
for both architectures, causing a race when both run in parallel on
the same worker.
When testing "scripts" changes with Jenkins and a leaf job fails, we
currently would have to restart the whole build or update the git tag
manually. Since dealing with the git tag is not straightforward, add
a helper to update it.
It uses the SIGNER environment variable to decide whether the
signatures should be created or not. It expect the key of the SIGNER
to exist in GPGHOME, and that's what gpg_setup.sh is already doing.
In some places we need to recursively change the owner of the
directory that contains artifacts to be signed, otherwise we won't be
able to create new files with signatures there. This is because some
of the artifacts are either created inside the SDK container (so the
created files belong to root outside the container) or are created
with `sudo`.
Some of the signing may happen inside the SDK container, so make sure
to forward the SIGNER environment variable, as it will be used by the
signing function, when it's introduced.
The functions are sourcing other files that define global variables,
so they will spill into the callers shell unnecessarily. We will also
add some functionality that uses traps in follow-up commits, so it's
good to limit the scope of traps too.
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 baselayout package wants to manage the /etc/hosts file and thus
fails to emerge in the SDK container. One would have to build a new
SDK container instead.
To unblock the LTS 3033.3.1 release we can add a workaround to make the
SDK container environment more similar to how cork worked by removing
the /etc/hosts bind mount. This action has to be added to
run_sdk_container instead of sdk_lib/sdk_entry.sh because the existing
SDK's copy of sdk_lib/sdk_entry.sh won't have the change.
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.

When a nightly build is started that pushes the version file to the
branch it was doing so only at the end of the build, causing the push
to fail if something else got merged in between.
Push the version file early by generating it the same way it would be
generated by the run_sdk_container/bootstrap_sdk_container scripts.
In the case of the SDK the version file gets the same version for the
OS and the SDK. Add some explanations about the version formats. Note
that the scripts will still rewrite the file but it should be a no-op.
The coreos/portage refs were allowed to be empty strings but the way
the function was run from Groovy the lack of quoting caused the empty
strings to be missing parameters.
Since the two parameters are meant to be optional, support omitting
them.
