Add new autopkgtest policy: it determines the autopkgtests for a
source package (its own, direct reverse binary dependencies, and
Testsuite-Triggers), requests tests via AMQP, fetches results from swift, and
keeps track of pending tests between run. This also caches the downloaded
results from swift, as re-dowloading them all is very expensive.
This introduces two new hints:
* force-badtest pkg/ver[/arch]: Failing results for that package will be
ignored. This is useful to deal with broken tests that get imported from
Debian or are from under-maintained packages, or broke due to some
infrastructure changes. These are long-lived usually.
* force-skiptest pkg/ver: Test results *triggered by* that package (i. e.
reverse dependencies) will be ignored. This is mostly useful for landing
packages that trigger a huge amount of tests (glibc, perl) where some tests
are just too flaky to get them all passing, and one just wants to land it
after the remaining failures have been checked. This should be used rarely
and the hints should be removed immediately again.
Add integration tests that call britney in various scenarios on constructed
fake archives, with mocked AMQP and Swift results.
We want to treat linux-$flavor and linux-meta-$flavor as one set in britney
which goes in together or not at all. We never want to promote linux-$flavor
without the accompanying linux-meta-$flavor.
Introduce a synthetic linux* → linux-meta* dependency to enforce this grouping.
We don't use os.makedirs(dir, exist_ok=True) as that is too strict: it fails if
the directory already exists with different permissions (e. g. with 775). Thus
introduce a helper function ensuredir().
Strip of Multi-Arch qualifiers ":any" and ":native" when building the
dependency fields, as they are not part of the package name.
This will fix cases like
Package: ipython3
Depends: python3:any (>= 3)
and include ipython3 in python3's reverse dependencies.
Closes: #794194
Doing this means that you can't use the hint tester for packages with
uppercase characters in the version, e.g.
Version mismatch, dreamchess 0.2.1-rc2-2build1 != 0.2.1-RC2-2build1
This fixes commit 497edc to really allow policies to see if the excuse has
already been invalidated by previous policies.

Cleanly split doop_source into a (small) part about source packages
and a (longer) part about binary packages.

Coverage suggests that the conditions are always true. If so, we can
replace the "elif" with a regular "if" - but for now, lets keep an
assert.

Add a check to ensure we do not create broken test data (as happened
recently, where the architecture values were swapped for a single
binary). A cold hard failure like this is easier to debug
compared to Britney playing "garbage in, garbage out".

Add some "no cover" to some unrecoverable exceptions
(e.g. misconfiguration) or base-class methods that are not intended to
be invoked.

This gives Policies the opportunity to see if a previous check
(build/installability) or earlier policies already invalidated the update. This
allows writing policies that work on groups of packages, or skipping expensive
checks (such as triggering autopkgtests while the package is not built or
installable yet).

Why duplicate that in the configuration when Britney can just pull it
in the Release file for testing? :)

As a side effect, remove mips64el from NEW_ARCHES as we no longer need
that as a work around.
