This commit updates the test suite to use the BinaryPackageUniverse
instead of the InstallabilityTester where that makes sense. The rest
of Britney has yet to be updated except where absolutely necessary (as
that will come in a later commit).

The InstallabilityTester is suffering from a lack of clear purpose
because it serves multiple. This commit extracts most of one of these
purposes into the BinaryPackageUniverse class while retaining the
original API of the InstallabilityTester.

Currently autopkgtest tries to install our trigger from unstable and the rest
from testing. If that fails, than autopkgtest has a fall-back to allow all
packages from unstable to be installed. This has two severe issues:
1) the version of the test and the package it came from may be out-of-sync
2) too much from unstable may be installed, even stuff that should not/is not
allowed to migrate as it breaks stuff.
Make sure that test depends also get added to triggers if they are broken.
E.g. imagine the following scenario: trigger X changes (breaks) the output
generated by Y. Package Z has Y in the test dependencies and compares the
output in the autopkgtest. We want to have the opportunity that a new version
is automatically fixing the situation.
Two use cases are currently unsupported: needs-build (autopkgtest restriction)
and test dependencies generated by autodep8.
Admittedly, no policy adds them yet so this is currently no-op code.
However, future commits can start to rely on this infrastructure code.

Flatten the defaultdict(set) for unsat_deps into a standard dict for output
In case autopkgtest triggering is delayed because the required builds aren't
ready yet or the package is not installable, currently there is only the
message that autopktest delays the migration, but no hint why. This commit adds
these hints.
The initial idea was to do this to bootstrap the baseline, but it turns out
that this has the drawback it triggers runs for a package that has a new
autopkgtest where it didn't have it in the version in the target suite. It was
considered harmless (as it would just have a failing reference), but due to
autodep8, package can have a passing result in the target suite while the new
autopkgtest is actually broken. Such a package should not be blocked / getting
a penalty.
The alternative is to make the check here smarter, but as this is only for
bootstrapping, lets do that outside of britney proper.
When determining whether a policy applies to a given item, use the
suite class rather than the suite name.

Into 3 categories:
* target suite ("testing")
* primary source suite ("unstable")
* additional source suites ("pu" and "tpu")
This will be useful for implementing logic working with suites without
basing it on the name of the suite.

At the moment, it is just a glorified dict. However, we will
eventually use it to get rid of the hardcoded references to "testing"
etc. all over the code.

1) the update didn't happen for all but the first
2) we don't want a package that fixes a regression in unstable to influence the
reference for another package until it actually migrates, so this updating
is flawed.
Given that only one value is defined ("reference"), it is a better
option to allow the config to be unset when one does not want to have
adt_baseline set to "reference".

Notable omissions are "pending_tests" and "tests_results". This is
omission is due to these (some times) being initialized from the
output of "json.load" (so we cannot assume defaultdict semantics
without manually imported the data into one).

The first case is to avoid a creating a list, which is then converted
to a set only to throw away the list again. Here we can just create
the set right away without a list inbetween.
The second case is "if x in [...]:" is better written as "if x in
{...}:" as sets provides faster "__contains__" (assuming you are on a
"recent enough python3", which britney is).

Arguable, this is not a problem in the code as the failure case
invokes sys.exit. However, this is more future proof as the sys.exit
may be replaced (or we may later catch another exception that is
"recoverable").

- revert most of commit adbe6d5 as checking the version in testing doesn't work
when other packages migrate and cause regressions
- Alternative way of determining if a package is regressing, by comparison to a
reference set. The reference set is to be created by a holy trigger that
doesn't take packages from the base suite, but instead tests in the testing
suite. This reference needs a retry when a package causing regression
migrates nevertheless, e.g. due to hints or to bounty/penalty policy.
This commit rewrites the make-shift "log" methods to use the logging
framework without requiring changes to the callers. This will be done
in a latter commit to keep things reviewable.

If a package had:

Add a new "BuildDependsPolicy" that will check the satisfiability of
the build-dependencies listed in the Build-Depends and
Build-Depends-Arch fields. This enables gating of packages based on
missing / broken build-dependencies.
There are some limitations:
* Build-Depends-Indep is ignored for now. Missing or broken packages
listed in Build-Depends-Indep will be continue to be silently
ignored.
* Being a policy check, it does not enforce "self-containedness" as
a package can still migrate before a build-dependency. However,
this can only happen if the build-dependency is ready to migrate
itself. If the build-dependency is not ready (e.g. new RC bugs),
then packages build-depending on it cannot migrate either (unless
the version in testing satisfies there requirements).

Sometimes the solver would correctly compute which items are grouped
together, but then fail to emit some groups. This is trivially
fixable by forcing an update of "before" + "after" relations.
Admittedly, this looks unnecessary, so it may just be hiding the bug.
Nonetheless, the change makes the new test_solver_simple_scc test
produce the expected result.

With this change, Britney can now provide a very brief summary of the
migration via one single value (YAML) or line (HTML). This solves two
issues:
* It provides an aggregated version of the policy decision without
having to loop over all policies (and even those would not give
a full verdict on their own as not all rejections come from
policies)
* It enables a simple way to inform readers of the HTML excuses of
whether a rejection is permanent or not. This should hopefully
make it easier for contributors to understand Britney and react
more pro-actively.

Britney has a special case for essential packages to ensure that any
package that with essential packages are not installable. This check
did not account for a case, where a package is not co-installable with
two or more pseudo-essential package part of the same OR dependency.
A contrived example based on real world data:
Package: foo
# Conflict with all providers of "awk"
Conflicts: mawk | gawk | original-awk
This alone is actually not sufficient to trigger the bug, as
_get_min_pseudo_ess_set is in theory some times smart enough to pick
an "obvious" solution between the pseudo-essential option.
When it does, one of the above ends up in the (de-facto) essential set
and then the installability tester correctly rejects "foo".
Though, even with the fix above, the handling for this is probably not
correct if the essential set is not (fully co-)installable. However,
that basically only happens if we are bootstrapping an architecture
(or testing is royally broken, in which case this is the least of our
worries).
