If we have a non-clean working directory after do_clean(), that
is a bug and something we need to investigate. Print information
to make that easier to debug.
Currently, for all tests we have python3 installed. So effectively,
even on CentOS 7, we would test the build with python3 only.
The package build on CentOS7/epel7 however uses python2. This happens
for example for our copr builds.
Also test that configuration in gitlab-ci.
In particular, `dpkg -l` likes to show a pager, when you are on the
terminal. Being on the terminal happens, if you try to reproduce
a test on your own container. So let's avoid that.
Previously, autotools would detect whether we have "black"
in the path. And if so, it would check formatting during `make check`.
That's problematic. When I run `./contrib/fedora/rpm/build_clean.sh -w test`
in certain cases, it would pick up black, but then fail with
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/black", line 5, in <module>
from black import patched_main
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/black.py", line 42, in <module>
from attr import dataclass, evolve, Factory
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'attr'
make[3]: *** [Makefile:21658: check-python-black] Error 1
That's an installation error of black, but still, during package build
there is no need to check the formatting. We could export
`NMTST_SKIP_PYTHON_BLACK=1` to prevent it, but it's still unnecessary.
We check proper formatting in gitlab-ci. That is enough, it doesn't
need to run during `make check`. In particular, because `black .`
takes 1.5 seconds on my machine.
During the test, we `tee` the output to a log file in "/tmp".
We do that, because the test script cleans the working directory
several times, so the file cannot reside there.
Afterwards, we need to move the file back into the git-tree, so that
gitlab can archive it.
Previously that was done by "after_script", but the "after_script" may not
see the same "/tmp" as the test run ([1]). This needs to be done as part of the
"script" step.

The "check-{patch,tree}" jobs use the same container as the default
test on Fedora ("pages_build", which also builds our documentation).
Previously, we thus extended "t_fedora:35". But that way we also
got things that we didn't want (.nm_artifacts and .build@template).
Solve this differently, by letting the jobs directly define what they
need. It's not much more, than extending "t_fedora:35" and workaround
to drop stuff we don't want.
Our test is long and verbose. The output gets truncated after
a few megabytes, but sometimes it's interesting to see what
happens afterwards. Redirect also to a file and archive it.
The output of our test scripts is captured by gitlab. It does however
sanitize things that look like secrets. So it was reasonably save
to call `env` from within the test script.
Next, we will redirect (`tee`) the output of the test script to a
file and archive it. When we do that, the output does not get sanitized
and can be downloaded from the artifacts page.
Stop running `env` as part of the test script. Do it instead as a
separate step. After all, it is useful to see the environment variables
of the test. But sanitized.
It's true, that our gitlab-ci test mostly consists of building NetworkManager.
Hence the name of the script was not entirely wrong. But it's not only building.
I think "run-test.sh" is a much better name. Rename.
These containers are ancient. Also, when we update ci-templates
they will no longer build (because then a different container hub
will be used, which doesn't contain those images). Drop them.
"nm-code-format.sh" is going to change the default behavior from "-n" to
"-i", that is, from check-only to reformat. Explicitly pass "-n" where
we want it.
It fails to install the container. Disable it, until it is more
stable.

- the container that is also "pages_build" should always
run automatically. This can replace the "always" tag.
- comment out the "always: 33" part, because we no longer need
it. It was also wrong, because by now we should run Fedora 34
automatically.
- the python-black version on Fedora 33 was updated, and this formats
our python code differently. The black version that is used by our
gitlab-ci is the authoritative version that should be used. Update
it by regenerating the containers.
- especially Fedora:rawhide and Debian:sid often introduce changes that
will cause a break of our build. Update the containers to test latest
versions.
Alpine is especially interesting because it uses musl as libc.
The build does not yet succeed. There are several issues that
need to be fixed.
However, it will be simpler to fix things, if we have tests
in place -- even if at the moment they are known to be broken.

Ubuntu/Debian and CentOS/Fedora are sufficiently similar that it's
better that we have only one variant of ".gitlab-ci/*-install.sh"
and "contrib/*/REQUIRED_PACKAGES".
This was already the case, however, we used to symlink
".gitlab-ci/centos-install.sh" to "fedora-install.sh". That
worked, but it didn't scale very well. For example, if we would follow
that pattern, we would also need a symlink "contrib/centos/REQUIRED_PACKAGES"
Or should "contrib/centos" symlink to "contrib/fedora"? That seems even
more wrong.
We already had the "distro.base_type" variable for that. Make use of
that also for the install script.
