The ci-* targets need to know where our container images are stored
and how they are called to work, so now that we use the GitLab
container registry instead of Quay some changes are necessary.
Signed-off-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com>
Reviewed-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
Instead of using pre-built containers hosted on Quay, build
containers as part of the GitLab CI pipeline and upload them to the
GitLab container registry for later use.
This will not significantly slow down builds, because containers are
only rebuilt when the corresponding Dockerfile has been modified.

Right now we're dividing the jobs into three stages: prebuild, which
includes DCO checking as well as building artifacts such as the
website, and native_build/cross_build, which do exactly what you'd
expect based on their names.
This organization is nice from the logical point of view, but results
in poor utilization of the available CI resources: in particular, the
fact that cross_build jobs can only start after all native_build jobs
have finished means that if even a single one of the latter takes a
bit longer the pipeline will stall, and with native builds taking
anywhere from less than 10 minutes to more than 20, this happens all
the time.
Building artifacts in a separate pipeline stage also doesn't have any
advantages, and only delays further stages by a couple of minutes.
The only job that really makes sense in its own stage is the DCO
check, because it's extremely fast (less than 1 minute) and, if that
fails, we can avoid kicking off all other jobs.
Reducing the number of stages results in significant speedups:
specifically, going from three stages to two stages reduces the
overall completion time for a full CI pipeline from ~45 minutes[1]
to ~30 minutes[2].

Setting OEM strings for a domain was introduced in
v4.1.0-rc1~315. However, any application that wanted to use them
(e.g. to point to an URL where a config file is stored) had to
'dmidecode -u --oem-string N' (where N is index of the string).
Well, we can expose them under our <sysinfo/> XML and if the
domain is running Libvirt inside it can be obtained using
virConnectGetSysinfo() API.

We use cirrus-run to trigger Cirrus CI jobs from GitLab CI jobs,
making it possible to extend our platform coverage to include
FreeBSD without having to maintain our own runners; additionally,
we'll be able to ditch Travis CI and, since results for Cirrus CI
jobs are reflected back to the GitLab CI jobs that triggered them,
we will be able to get all information from a single dashboard.
The FreeBSD and macOS job definitions can be improved further: for
example, we will want to enable caching to speed up builds, and
ultimately we should figure out a way to generate at least part of
them, notably the list of packages to be installed, using lcitool.
All of that will happen in later patches: for now, this is good
enough to start using Cirrus CI.

Juan Quintela noticed that when he restarted libvirt he was getting
extra iptables rules added by libvirt even though he didn't have any
libvirt networks that used iptables rules. It turns out this also
happens if the firewalld service is restarted. The extra rules are
just the private chains, and they're sometimes being added
unnecessarily because they are added separately in a global
networkPreReloadFirewallRules() that does the init if there are any
active networks, regardless of whether or not any of those networks
will actually add rules to the host firewall.
The fix is to change the check for "any active networks" to instead
check for "any active networks that add firewall rules".
(NB: although the timing seems suspicious, this isn't a new regression
caused by the recently pushed f5418b427 (which forces recreation of
private chains when firewalld is restarted); it was an existing bug
since iptables rules were first put into private chains, even after
commit c6cbe18771 delayed creation of the private chains. The
implication is that any downstream based on v5.1.0 or later that cares
about these extraneous (but harmless) private chains would want to
backport this patch (along with the other two if they aren't already
there))
