This change makes QEMU_UPDATE_PAYLOAD configurable via
ci-automation/settings.env where it was hard-wired before.
The change also fixes fall-out in qemu_update.sh by ensuring a local tmp
directory is created before it is used by the test.

The kola run didn't pick up the version that was set up in the build
because the git changes from that step are lost.
Redo the version setup in the kola run to use the same version, and
skip the kola update test if no update payload can be found. In the
future we should copy it over from the GitHub Action artifact.
The vendor tools on the OEM partition weren't updated. We now want to
ship them as systemd-sysext images which we can easily update. This
change extends the Flatcar A/B update mechanism to cover the OEM
systemd-sysext images. The same mechanism is also able to support
"official" Flatcar extensions, e.g., a ZFS extension.
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.
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.
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.
