The copy function of start-new-vm.sh script only excludes the
image of the current OS which is some cases can contain other
images. This change excludes any image.

The DEFAULT_XCI_TEST value wasn't checked and it could actually contain
anything leading to all sort of failures so we need to check it against
well known values.

We need to make sure that the local package cache is updated before we
try to install packages. Moreover, from time to time, something in the
repos may be broken so we don't want to break the CI job. As such, make
that step non-fatal as simply send the output to stdout so we can see
what's wrong.

The XCI deployment script may wipe the PXE directories so we need
to place the OS images after this has happened so we don't download them

We already have images for all 3 distros which we could simply re-use
for all the XCI VM deployments instead of building new ones everytime
with DIB. The images will be copied to the new VM from the cache
directory if they are available otherwise we will simply download them
during the XCI execution phase.

If 2 jobs for different distros start on the same host, the
generated xci-vm-config files might be rewritten by both jobs
causing trouble for the other. This change creates ssh config

pgrep will exit with non-zero exit code if it didn't find a matching
process. This breaks the script since we set 'errexit' so we need to
mask it by simply piping it to a 'cat' command.

When using the clean VM for the tests, we will end up with 3 levels of
virtualization when functest is executed (1st level = clean vm, 2nd
level = compute node, 3rd level = functest VMs). This makes the functest
VM terribly slow leading to all sorts of random failures. It appears
that KVM can't handle this case, so we need to switch to the QEMU
interpreter instead which is slower but functional. This only affects
the Jenkins jobs, so deployments on baremetal will still use 2 levels of
nested KVM virtualization which should work fine.

In commit I75a8cb8c05957bb205e63210d6cafaf54d989f32 the 'ts' utility
was added in order to print timestamps for deployment. However, this
breaks the exit code since 'pipefail' was not set so every job was
returning 'success'.

From upstream docs:
'The host-model mode is essentially a shortcut to copying host CPU
definition from capabilities XML into domain XML. Since the CPU
definition is copied just before starting a domain, exactly the
same XML can be used on different hosts while still providing
the best guest CPU each host supports'
It's probably safer to use that instead of 'host-passthrough' so
we can get a CPU (both for main VM and the nested ones) that libvirt
understands. Moreover, it's important to present a CPU that the
guest OS understands as well.

According to the docs[1]
"writeback: This mode causes the hypervisor to interact with the disk
image file or block device with neither O_DSYNC nor O_DIRECT semantics.
The host page cache is used and writes are reported to the guest as
completed when they are placed in the host page cache. The normal page
cache management will handle commitment to the storage device.
Additionally, the guest's virtual storage adapter is informed of the
writeback cache, so the guest would be expected to send down flush
commands as needed to manage data integrity. Analogous to a raid
controller with RAM cache."
and
"writeback: This mode informs the guest of the presence of a write
cache, and relies on the guest to send flush commands as needed to
maintain data integrity within its disk image. This is a common
storage design which is completely accounted for within modern file
systems. This mode exposes the guest to data loss in the unlikely case
of a host failure, because there is a window of time between the time
a write is reported as completed, and that write being committed to the
storage device."
"unsafe: This mode is similar to writeback caching except for the
following: the guest flush commands are ignored, nullifying the data
integrity control of these flush commands, and resulting in a higher
risk of data loss because of host failure. The name “unsafe” should
serve as a warning that there is a much higher potential for data
loss because of a host failure than with the other modes. As the
guest terminates, the cached data is flushed at that time."
It's beneficial to use the host page cache to cache I/O from the guest
instead of waiting for data to reach the actual disk device. We do not
normally care about data integrity so data loss is not a problem.
Moreover, we drop the cache configuration from the flavor files since
it's independent of the flavor that's being deployed.

It's useful to know how XCI performs in terms of duration time so
use the bash $SECONDS variable to calculate the total amount of time
it takes for a full XCI deployment. Moreover, use the 'ts' command to
print a timestamp for every command executed. This will help developers
identify tasks which take a lot of time to complete and possibly
optimize them.

The CI nodes come with a big secondary mechanical disk which can be
attached directly to the clean VM. As such, we split the disk into one
logical volume per distribution and flush the qcow2 image to it before
attaching it to the VM. If the XCI volume group is not available, then
we revert back to using a file-based storage backend. Finally, we hide
stdout/stderr from the package installation process to minimize the
script output.

Sometimes we may want to remove the clean VM in case of failure. This
is mostly true for CI tests because developers do not normally have access
to the deployed VMs to debug problems since they can easily recreate the
same environment using this script. If they ever want direct access to
the slaves then that option can easily be turned off and retrigger the
job. In the meantime, this patch allows slaves to free resources when a
job fails instead of keeping the broken tests around.

As we move towards making this script useful for developers, we
shouldn't destroy the existing ssh configuration file but rather
create a new one just for XCI. This also move the destruction of
previous instances sooner, even before building the OS image so we
can free resources as soon as possible. Finally, this also uses the
hostname to ssh to the new VM instead of its IP to ensure that
everything is setup up properly on the physical host.

Use a docker container to build the OS images so we can build images and
start new virtual machines on all supported operating systems. This way
all developers can now launch a virtual machine to quickly reproduce
Jenkins results which should assist with debugging problems.
Since the container runs with elevated privileges it's best to ensure
that we have exclusive access to devices. Finally, we remove the
build-dib-os.sh script which is now part of the container itself.
The build image process now becomes more stable since it runs on clean
evnironment all the time so the only external factor is the upstream
distribution repositories.
