The initial implementation was far more complicated than necessary.
Strip out the complexities in favor of a simpler and more direct
approach.

It's desirable to make archives available of builds containing actual
tested content. While not official distro-releases, these will enable
third-party testing, experimentation, and development for both branches
(e.g. "master") and pull requests (e.g. "pr3106").
* Add a Makefile targets for archiving both regular podman binaries
and the remote-client. Encode release metadata within these
archives so that their exact source can be identified.
* Fix bug with cross-compiling remote clients for the Windows and Darwin
platforms.
* Add unit-testing of cross-compiles for Windows and Darwin platforms.
* A few small CI-script typo-fixes
* Add a script which operates in two modes:
1. Call Makefile targets which produce release archives.
Upload the archive to Cirrus-CI's built-in caching system
using reproducible cache keys.
2. Utilize reproduced cache keys to attempt download of cache
from each tasks. When successful, parse the file's
release metadata, using it to name the archive file. Upload
all recovered archives to a publicly accessible storage bucket
for future reference.
* Update the main testing task to call the script in mode #1 for
all primary platforms.
* Add a new `$SPECIALMODE` task to call the script in mode #1 for
Windows and Darwin targets.
* Add a new 'release' task to the CI system, dependent upon all other
tasks. This new tasks executes the script in mode #2.
* Update CI documentation

Building/installing dependencies from fixed source-version ensures
testing is reliable, but introduces a maintenance burden and
risks testing far outside of a real-world environment. The
sensible alternative is to install dependencies from distro-packaging
systems.
Install all development and testing dependencies at VM cache-image build
time, to help ensure testing remains stable. The existing cache-image
build workflow can be utilized at any future time to build/test
with updated packages.
***N/B***: This does not update any dockerfiles used by testing, that is
left up to future efforts.

Existing code was not working due to a bash gotcha ('exit'
from a pipeline). It also had unnecessary duplication.
New version is safer; also includes unit tests run under localunit.
Existing invocations of req_env_var replaced via:
$ [ edit setup_environment.sh, move one closing quote to its own line ]
$ perl -ni -e 's/(?<=req_env_var )"(\S+)\s+\$\1"/$1/; if (/req_env_var "$/ .. /^\s*"/) { chomp; s/(?<=\S)\s.*//; if (/^\s*"/) { print "\n" } else { unless (/req_env_var/) { s/^\s+//; print " ";} print;} } else { print }' $(ack -l req_env_var)
$ [ hand-massage an incorrect instance of '@' in lib.sh:ircmsg() ]

Previously libpod CI was fairly straight-forward, run unit and
integration tests in a standard set of 3 VMs. Off on the side was a
single special case of running tests as an ordinary user. There is a
desire to stop using the PAPR system to support testing inside of a
container.
Since having two special cases potentially invites more
down the road, make provisions to handle them more gracefully. This
commit introduces an environment variable: ``$SPECIALMODE``. It's
value has the following meanings within the CI scripts:
Mode 'none': Nothing special, business as usual (default)
Mode 'rootless': Rootless testing
Mode 'in_podman': Build container, run integration tests in it.
This will make adding additional special-cases later easier, as well as
extending the special cases in a Matrix across multiple OS's.

This was specifically disabled early on in transitioning to cirrus due to
an excessive number of test failures and lack of knowledge. This commit
reverses the stance and unifies build and test commands across all
current platforms.

Previously we only reported the date/time at the beginning of a run
since it's not available in the Cirrus-CI system. This commit
generalizes the solution, recording start/end times for all major
events.
Also the timestamps are recorded into a local file on the VMs. This
is intended for future use, for example tracking execution-time
trends.

Since the most recent TWO versions of Fedora are officially supported
upstream, both need to be tested. Implement the concept of a 'prior'
Fedora release in both base-image and cache-image production. Utilize
the produced cache-image to test libpod. Remove F28 testing from PAPR.
Much thanks to @baude @giuseppe for help with this.

A number of images required for future testing are not present in GCE.
Importing them is a long proscribed process prone to errors and
complications.
Improve this situation by documenting, and encoding the majority of the
steps required. Due to the required complexity, these are clearly
identified as 'semi-automated'. This means a discerning eye is
sometimes needed to address unforeseen problems (networking issues,
format or packaging changes, etc).
Nevertheless, having these steps in writing, will reduce current and
future maintenance burden while supporting future testing needs of
RHEL, Fedora and Fedora Atomic Host.
Also:
* Add necessary configuration, scripts, and Makefile updates needed to
prepare RHEL, Fedora, & FAH cloud images for use in GCE. This
is a complex, multi-step process where the cloud image is booted
un a local user-mod qemu-kvm instance, where it can be modified.
From there, it's converted into a specific format, and imported into
GCE. Lastly, the imported raw disk data is made available as a GCE
VM image.
Note: As of this commit, the RHEL base-image builds (CentOS has native
image), however neither RHEL or CentOS cache-images build correctly.
* Left testing on FAH disabled, the GCE/Cirrus integration needs needs more
work. Specifically, the python3-based google startup script service
throws a permission-denied (as root) when trying to create a temp.
directory. Did not investigate further, though manually running the
startup script does allow the libpod tests to start running.
* Enabled Fedora 29 image to execute tests and general use.
* Utilize the standardized F28-based container image for gating
of more the intensive unit and integration testing. Update
documentation to reflect this as the standard platform for
these checks. Rename tasks with shorter names and to better
reflect their purpose.
* Cirrus: Trim unnecessary env vars before testing since the vast
majority are only required for orchestration purposes. Since most
are defined within `.cirrus.yml`, it's a good place to store the
list of undesirables. Since each of the cirrus-scripts runs in
it's own shell, unsetting these near the end will have no
consequence. Also trim down the number of calls to show_env_vars()

The packer tool takes JSON as input for the details of producing VM
images to be used for PR CI-testing. JSON is not a very human-friendly
format, without support for comments and frequently containing lots of
duplicate data.
Fix this by using a Makefile + simple python one-liner to convert
from a human-friendly YAML format into packer-native JSON. This allows
use of anchors/aliases to reduce duplication, and allows inline comments
for easier maintainability. This also allows separating the 'test'
action from the 'build' action, for earlier and better syntax problem
detection.
Lastly, there are some minor ``lib.sh`` and ``integration_test.sh``
updates to support future work, and slightly improve the build and
test environments.

Testing podman requires exercising on a full-blown VM. The current
containerized-approach is complicated, and mostly a band-aid over
shortcomings in the other CI systems. Namely, we want:
* To pre-build environments with dependencies to reduce the
setup time needed for testing.
* The ability to verify the pre-built environments are working
before utilizing them for further testing.
* A simple, single set of flexible automation instructions to
reduce maintenance burden.
* Ease of environment reproduction across clouds or locally, for
debugging failures.
This change leverages Cirrus-CI + Packer + collection of shell scripts
to realize all of the above.
