The kola test scripts are named by the platforms. The image naming is
also quite difficult to know and remember, e.g., whether "ami" or
"ami_vmdk" is needed for AWS tests and whether it's "vmware" or
"vmware_ova".
To address these problems the vms build stage now accepts the platform
names as format input, and for each platform it will automatically
generate the needed image types to run the tests.
The SDK container does not exist for arm64 and is quite heavy. We
currently also resort to a unconditional rebuilding of mantle inside
the SDK.
Use the new mantle container image to run kola tests, and pin its
version through a text file that gets updated by GitHub Actions.
this is required to keep "packet" in the SDK linguo while the user can
use "equinix_metal" term.

Azure ARM64 instances entered preview, so produce images for them regularly
with every release now. Flatcar has supported Azure ARM64 since the first
release with the 5.15 kernel, which was something like 3139.0.0
GCP Pro is failing because hostname is > 63 char:
```
Apr 5 19:52:27.522820 kubelet[1762]: E0405 19:52:27.522513 1762 kubelet_node_status.go:93] "Unable to register node with API server" err="Node \"jenkins-gce-pro-5-91a967ef5450cb932bc5.c.flatcar-212911.internal\" is invalid: metadata.labels: Invalid value: \"jenkins-gce-pro-5-91a967ef5450cb932bc5.c.flatcar-212911.internal\": must be no more than 63 characters" node="jenkins-gce-pro-5-91a967ef5450cb932bc5.c.flatcar-212911.internal"
```
Let's remove `jenkins` and `gce` from the hostname, these
information are not critical for debugging purposes.
Hostname should now looks like
"basic-5-91a967ef5450cb932bc5.c.flatcar-212911.internal" or
"pro-5-91a967ef5450cb932bc5.c.flatcar-212911.internal"

The pipeline created two tags if an SDK was built, one for the SDK and
one for the OS build (which was a free-standing tag or a local state
that was equivalent to the existing tag of the same name). The
nightlies created update commits on the main branch, even if no change
was done, and on the release branches we lacked these commits.
Create the release tag in the nightly SDK bootstrap already and reuse
it for the nightly OS build. Instead of local state, checkout the
existing tags explicitly. Extend the nightly update commit logic to
cover release branches and detect if we can skip building because no
changes were done.
