<title>tests: Remove unused DNS6 calculation from fedora tests</title>

<content type='text'>
The Fedora test file extracts some information from the host resolv.conf
into a DNS6 variable which is then never used.  Remove this unnecessary
step, which is presumably a leftover from an earlier iteration.

This was the only user of 'head' and 'sed' in the test file, so those can
also be removed from the required tools.  The debian and ubuntu test files
also listed 'head' and 'sed' as tools, although they don't use them,
I'm guessing because of an earlier version which had the same DNS6 code.
Remove those as well.

The opensuse test file still actually uses DNS6, so leave it there for now.
The DNS handling and network config handling for SuSE looks to be kind of
broken, but fixing that is a job for another day.

<title>tests: Prepare distro images during asset build phase</title>

Before booting the guest images, the distro test cases need to modify the
guest images, using virt-edit and guestfish, to boot in the way we need.
At present this gets repeated on every test run, even though it's not
really doing anything we want to test for.

In addition many of the images have the same preparation steps leading to
a lot of duplicated stages in the tests.  A number of additional images can
be prepared using common steps, even if the ones used now have small
differences.

Therefore move the preparation of most of the guest images to the asset
build phase, where they can be done a single time for multiple test runs,
using a common preparation script.  We can even avoid making a copy of the
disk image for booting, by using qemu's -snapshot option.

A few of the distros (openSUSE and older Ubuntu) do need different steps.
For now we don't chage how they are run, they could possibly be handled
more like this in future.

Rather than directly download distro images from the test scripts, handle
all the downloads during the test asset build, then just clone them for
the tests themselves.  This avoids repeated downloads which can be very
slow when debugging failing tests.

<title>tests: Explicitly list test files in test/run, remove "onlyfor" support</title>

Currently test/run uses wildcards to run all of the tests in a directory.
However, that wildcard list is filtered down by the "onlyfor" directives
in the test files... usually to a single file.

Therefore, just explicitly list the files we *really* want to run for this
test mode.  This makes it easier to see at the top level what tests will
be executed, and to change that list temporarily while debugging specific
failures.

This means the "onlyfor" directive no longer has any purpose, and we can
remove it.  "onlyfor" was also the only used of the $MODE variable, so we
can remove that too.

The top level listing control of which tests to run is in test/run, however
it uses the test() function which runs an entire directory of test files,
filtered by some criteria.  This makes it awkward to narrow down to a
subset of tests when debugging a specific failure.

To make this easier, have test() take an explicit list of test files to
run, and have the caller in test/run handle the directory traversal.  The
construct we use for this is pretty awkward to handle the fact that we're
in the source tree root directory rather than test/ at this point in
test/run.  Later cleanups will improve that.

<title>tests: Remove not-very-useful "req" directive</title>

The test scripts support a "req" directive which requires one test script
to be run before another.  It's implemented by doing a topological sort
based on these directives in the runner scripts, which is about as awkward
as you'd expect in Bourne shell.

It turns out we only use this functionality in one place - to make the
"make install" test run after the plain "make" test.  We also already have
a simpler way of making sure tests run in a specific order: just put them
into the same test script file.

So, remove support for the "req" directive and just fold the build/all and
build/install test scripts together.

Apparently qemu's ARM virt machine needs to be explicitly given a firmware
image, rather than just supplying a sane default.  Unfortunately the EDK2
firmware image we need isn't in the same place on all host distros.

Currently the test scripts hardcode the Debian location, meaning it will
break on hosts that have it somewhere else.  This patch searches multiple
locations for the firmware, and creates a local link during the asset build
phase, which the tests can then use.

For now it only searches the locations used by Debian and Fedora, but
that's a small improvement in robustness already, and can be later improved
further if we need to.

Move the download of mbuto and using it to create a sample initramfs to
the asset build makefile, rather than embedding it in the test scripts
themselves.

The two_guests tests used to use two separate copies of the mbuto
image.  As an initramfs the mbuto image is strictly readonly though,
so that's not necessary.  So, also use the same image for both guests.
